2 services, frontend and backend, let railpack do its job 😉

Yes—Railway can host a full‑stack app. Create separate services for frontend, backend, and database, wire env vars, add a custom domain, and you’re live. For clients: either let them deploy to their own Railway via a Template (they pay) or you host multi‑tenant in your project (you pay, you bill them).

I currently run two full-stack apps personally through Railway! One for a client, and one for myself.

Thank you for your responses. How does the template work? Also how does the credits system work? Is it numbers of hours used or what? I also have an external postgres DB - that's ok right?

Could you give us more details about your project?

- Technologies used (frontend, backend, database, etc.);

- Whether the backend and frontend are separate as two projects.

thank you colinrm000

So I originally looked at hosting platforms for the full-stack and I went for render first because they had a free tier so that I could actually try it out. I didn't realise Railway had a free tier too (temporary one). Railway based on reviews and online threads is actually my preferred choice. I could not get it working initially on render because there were some mismatches in my code frontend and backend which took me a while to figure out. It is sorted out now and hosted on render. I wanted to use this as a demo to allow my client to play around with seeded (fake) data to try out the app. Then I plan to open a paid account with Railway, in which he will pay for. So I guess I just need to follow through with the instructions an it should be OK. Obviously if I get stuck, I'll come back and cry here again 😄 !

mardonedias --> I have made a form manager which calculates scores based on how clients of my client fill out forms and then mails the results back to a database which can be retrieved by the original sender and the data is shown in a chart according to how the questions were answered. This is a full stack project made with React frontend and a nodeJS backend, also using Typescript. I have used Express to wire up the routes. There are API calls that communicate with the database and retrieve/send data back and forth via the frontend APIs. I am using axios. The backend is separate from the frontend and they communicate via the APIs but they are both within the same overall project. I also have a base HTML file for injecting the react code, some custom CSS, Tailwind, test files are in plain JS using vitest, Prisma is used with Postgres to communicate with a Neon database (all data is stored here).

The issues I had was a discrepancy between the pathing of the frontend and backend in the production environment but that's fine now!
