Deploy your PlanetScale app to Railway
Step-by-step deployment help for PlanetScale apps on Railway. We fix PlanetScale-specific deployment issues, configure Railway, and get your app live. From $19.
PlanetScale issues we fix before deploying
Common PlanetScale problems that affect Railway deployments.
Foreign key constraint workarounds
PlanetScale doesn't support traditional foreign keys. AI-generated code creates them anyway, causing deployment failures, or skips referential integrity entirely.
Connection string exposure
PlanetScale database URLs with credentials committed to source control or embedded in client-side code.
Missing connection pooling
Serverless functions opening new connections on every invocation instead of using PlanetScale's connection pooling or @planetscale/database driver.
No branch workflow for schema changes
Schema changes deployed directly to the main branch without using PlanetScale's deploy request workflow, risking production data.
Railway deployment issues we check for
Common Railway problems that break PlanetScale apps in production.
Nixpacks detects the wrong build system
Monorepo projects or apps with multiple package managers confuse Nixpacks auto-detection, resulting in incorrect build commands and failed deployments.
Volume data lost on redeploy
AI-generated apps store uploaded files or SQLite databases on the filesystem without configuring Railway volumes, losing all data on each new deployment.
Private networking misconfigured between services
Internal service communication uses public URLs instead of Railway's private network (*.railway.internal), adding latency and exposing internal APIs publicly.
Health check endpoint missing
Railway restarts services that fail health checks. AI-generated servers often lack a /health endpoint, causing unnecessary restart loops.

Frequently asked questions
How do I deploy a PlanetScale app to Railway?
We handle PlanetScale deployments to Railway end to end. Start with our code audit ($19) to identify deployment blockers specific to your PlanetScale project, then we configure Railway, fix issues, and get your app live in production.
What PlanetScale issues affect Railway deployments?
PlanetScale projects commonly have foreign key constraint workarounds and connection string exposure. On Railway, these combine with nixpacks detects the wrong build system and volume data lost on redeploy to cause deployment failures.
Can SpringCode deploy my PlanetScale project to Railway?
Yes. We specialize in deploying PlanetScale applications to Railway. We audit your codebase for PlanetScale-specific issues, configure Railway correctly, and handle the full deployment so your app runs reliably in production.
What does PlanetScale deployment to Railway cost?
Our code audit ($19) identifies all Railway deployment blockers in your PlanetScale project. Full deployment assistance is scoped with a fixed quote after the audit — no hourly billing or surprise charges.
