Built with GPT Engineer? Deploy it to Railway.
Step-by-step deployment help for GPT Engineer-built apps on Railway. We fix deployment issues, configure Railway correctly, and get your app live in production. From $19.
GPT Engineer issues we fix before deploying
Problems specific to GPT Engineer's code generation that affect Railway deployments.
No authentication system
GPT Engineer generates functional UIs but typically skips authentication entirely. All routes and data are publicly accessible.
Direct database access from client
Some generated apps query databases directly from the frontend without an API layer, exposing database credentials and structure.
Incomplete feature implementations
Features that look complete in the UI but don't actually work end-to-end. Buttons that don't submit, forms that don't save, and links that go nowhere.
Missing error boundaries
A single component error crashes the entire application. No error boundaries or fallback UIs to gracefully handle failures.
Railway deployment issues we check for
Common Railway problems that break AI-generated 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
Can you deploy a GPT Engineer-built app to Railway?
Yes. We regularly deploy GPT Engineer-generated projects to Railway. We handle the platform-specific configuration, fix deployment errors, and ensure your app runs reliably in production on Railway.
What Railway issues do GPT Engineer projects typically have?
GPT Engineer projects commonly have no authentication system and direct database access from client. When deploying to Railway, these combine with platform-specific issues like nixpacks detects the wrong build system and volume data lost on redeploy.
How do I get my GPT Engineer project live on Railway?
Start with our code audit ($19) to get a prioritized list of deployment blockers. For GPT Engineer-built projects targeting Railway, the typical path is: fix GPT Engineer-specific code issues, configure Railway settings correctly, then deploy. We provide a fixed quote after the audit.
Can you handle the full deployment of my GPT Engineer app to Railway?
Yes. We handle end-to-end deployment: auditing your GPT Engineer codebase, fixing deployment blockers, configuring Railway correctly, setting up environment variables, and getting your app live in production. Start with our code audit ($19).
