Ruby on Rails issues we fix before deploying
Common Ruby on Rails problems that affect Railway deployments.
Mass assignment vulnerabilities
AI-generated Rails controllers that use permit! or don't properly whitelist params, allowing attackers to modify any database column including admin flags and passwords.
Missing authorization checks
Controllers that authenticate users but don't check authorization — a logged-in user can access or modify any other user's data by changing the ID in the URL.
N+1 query problems
ActiveRecord code that loads associated records in loops without includes, eager_load, or preload — causing hundreds of database queries on pages with lists.
Unsafe use of raw SQL
AI tools sometimes generate raw SQL with string interpolation instead of using ActiveRecord's parameterized query methods, enabling SQL injection attacks.
Railway deployment issues we check for
Common Railway problems that break Ruby on Rails 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.
