hello!

first off, can this be deployed to Railway as-is?

can you define what do you mean by "this"?

We're an open-source JS framework that wants to natively support Railway 🙂

https://wasp.sh/

can wasp be deployed to railway as-is?

wasp generated apps can be deployed to Railway, however, we have a CLI that doesn't support natively deployments to Railway.

We package client, server, and the db into a docker container and ship it to Fly for example.

We'd like to change that, we want to add Railway as another option.

do wasp generated apps generate a dockerfile?

By default, Wasp generates a multi-stage Dockerfile. This file is used to build and run a Docker image with the Wasp-generated server code. It also runs any pending migrations.

does this single dockerfile run multiple applications in one? such as the frontend and backend

You always get the following parts:

A Node.js server.

A static client.

A PostgreSQL database.

3 pieces that work together, and that you can deploy wherever you want.

but it would be a single dockerfile that runs those three services? via its multiple stages

I think the answer is yes 😄

This is our engineer btw - https://github.com/railwayapp/cli/pull/596

and here's the PR on our side - https://github.com/wasp-lang/wasp/pull/2578

oh gotcha, thank you for that context, what are your current blockers?

we'd like to make a joint announcement, so ideally a marketer/growth person I can get in touch with.

fun fact, I'm a growth person at Wasp, not a developer 😄

we'll handle the implementation on our end, as well as initial testing, making sure things work as intended.

The test version now runs, but we'll need a few more weeks to officialy release it. in 3 sprints we think we'll be ready.

btw, we're in CEST time zone, my email is milica@wasp-lang.dev, so your colleagues can also reach me there, or we can have a private thread here 🙂

we'd be happy to re-post your post on X with a caption, but im afraid we cannot spare any marketing cycles at the moment
