Built with Poolside? Deploy it to Railway.
Step-by-step deployment help for Poolside-built apps on Railway. We fix deployment issues, configure Railway correctly, and get your app live in production. From $19.
Poolside issues we fix before deploying
Problems specific to Poolside's code generation that affect Railway deployments.
Code-only focus misses authentication requirements
Poolside generates high-quality application code but doesn't add authentication, authorization middleware, or access control by default — leaving API endpoints and data unprotected.
Generated code may not fit your project's architecture
Poolside produces idiomatic, high-quality code, but without deep knowledge of your project's specific architectural patterns, the generated code may conflict with your established service layers and module boundaries.
No deployment or infrastructure awareness
Poolside focuses on application code and does not generate Dockerfiles, deployment scripts, environment configuration, or CI/CD setup. Production deployment requires separate work.
Input validation present in generated code but not at API boundaries
Poolside validates data within functions but may skip HTTP-layer input validation — allowing malformed or oversized payloads to reach application logic before being caught.
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 Poolside-built app to Railway?
Yes. We regularly deploy Poolside-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 Poolside projects typically have?
Poolside projects commonly have code-only focus misses authentication requirements and generated code may not fit your project's architecture. 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 Poolside project live on Railway?
Start with our code audit ($19) to get a prioritized list of deployment blockers. For Poolside-built projects targeting Railway, the typical path is: fix Poolside-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 Poolside app to Railway?
Yes. We handle end-to-end deployment: auditing your Poolside codebase, fixing deployment blockers, configuring Railway correctly, setting up environment variables, and getting your app live in production. Start with our code audit ($19).
