Built with Zed AI? Deploy it to Railway.
Step-by-step deployment help for Zed AI-built apps on Railway. We fix deployment issues, configure Railway correctly, and get your app live in production. From $19.
Zed AI issues we fix before deploying
Problems specific to Zed AI's code generation that affect Railway deployments.
Inline edits applied directly to files without a diff review step
Zed AI applies inline edits immediately to open files, which makes changes fast but difficult to review as a unit before they are applied. Mistakes in multi-line edits can be harder to undo cleanly compared to tools that show a diff preview.
Fewer security guardrails than more established AI coding assistants
As a newer tool in a smaller ecosystem, Zed AI has less institutional knowledge built into its guardrails — it is less likely to flag insecure patterns in generated code like missing authentication or unsafe deserialization.
Limited codebase context compared to dedicated AI coding assistants
Zed AI operates primarily on open files and the immediate context rather than indexing the full codebase, so suggestions may not account for existing utilities, established patterns, or dependencies defined elsewhere in the project.
Rust-specific suggestions may not account for lifetime and ownership rules
Generated Rust code from Zed AI sometimes produces code that compiles but has ownership patterns that are overly restrictive or introduce unnecessary clones, requiring a Rust-savvy developer to optimize.
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 Zed AI-built app to Railway?
Yes. We regularly deploy Zed AI-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 Zed AI projects typically have?
Zed AI projects commonly have inline edits applied directly to files without a diff review step and fewer security guardrails than more established ai coding assistants. 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 Zed AI project live on Railway?
Start with our code audit ($19) to get a prioritized list of deployment blockers. For Zed AI-built projects targeting Railway, the typical path is: fix Zed AI-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 Zed AI app to Railway?
Yes. We handle end-to-end deployment: auditing your Zed AI codebase, fixing deployment blockers, configuring Railway correctly, setting up environment variables, and getting your app live in production. Start with our code audit ($19).
