Heyy, I think this fails because railway doesn’t know which subdirectory or command to use per service in the monorepo and it's likely defaulting to the root without proper build/start configuration.

To solve this, i think you should create a seperate railway service for each app in your monrepo. And in each of the service settings set the root directory(e.g. packages/backend, apps/mobile), the build command (e.g., pnpm --filter backend build) and the start command (e.g., pnpm --filter backend dev).

You can also add a helper script in your package.json like : 

"build:backend": "pnpm --filter backend build",
"start:backend": "pnpm --filter backend dev"
