Deploy your Rust app to Railway
Step-by-step deployment help for Rust apps on Railway. We fix Rust-specific deployment issues, configure Railway, and get your app live. From $19.
Rust issues we fix before deploying
Common Rust problems that affect Railway deployments.
Excessive .clone() usage
AI tools clone data everywhere to satisfy the borrow checker instead of using references, lifetimes, or Cow — defeating Rust's zero-cost abstraction goals.
Unnecessary unsafe blocks
Using unsafe to bypass compiler checks rather than restructuring code to work within safe Rust, introducing memory safety vulnerabilities.
Improper error handling with unwrap()
Calling .unwrap() and .expect() on Result and Option types instead of proper error propagation with ? operator, causing panics in production.
Blocking in async contexts
Using std::thread::sleep, synchronous I/O, or blocking mutex locks inside async functions, starving the Tokio runtime of worker threads.
Railway deployment issues we check for
Common Railway problems that break Rust 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 Rust app to Railway?
We handle Rust deployments to Railway end to end. Start with our code audit ($19) to identify deployment blockers specific to your Rust project, then we configure Railway, fix issues, and get your app live in production.
What Rust issues affect Railway deployments?
Rust projects commonly have excessive .clone() usage and unnecessary unsafe blocks. 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 Rust project to Railway?
Yes. We specialize in deploying Rust applications to Railway. We audit your codebase for Rust-specific issues, configure Railway correctly, and handle the full deployment so your app runs reliably in production.
What does Rust deployment to Railway cost?
Our code audit ($19) identifies all Railway deployment blockers in your Rust project. Full deployment assistance is scoped with a fixed quote after the audit — no hourly billing or surprise charges.
