Railway.app
Deploy your RAG application to railway.app
It’s easy to host your Embedchain-powered apps and APIs on railway.
Follow the instructions given below to deploy your first application quickly:
Step-1: Create RAG app
pip install embedchain
Create a full stack app using Embedchain CLI
To use your hosted embedchain RAG app, you can easily set up a FastAPI server that can be used anywhere. To easily set up a FastAPI server, check out Get started with Full stack page.
Hosting this server on railway is super easy!
Step-2: Set up your project
With Docker
You can create a Dockerfile in the root of the project, with all the instructions. However, this method is sometimes slower in deployment.
Without Docker
By default, Railway uses Python 3.7. Embedchain requires the python version to be >3.9 in order to install.
To fix this, create a .python-version file in the root directory of your project and specify the correct version
3.10
You also need to create a requirements.txt file to specify the requirements.
python-dotenv
embedchain
fastapi==0.108.0
uvicorn==0.25.0

Step-3: Deploy to Railway 🚀
- Go to https://railway.app and create an account.
- Create a project by clicking on the “Start a new project” button
With Github
Select Empty Project or Deploy from Github Repo.
You should be all set!
Without Github
You can also use the railway CLI to deploy your apps from the terminal, if you don’t want to connect a git repository.
To do this, just run this command in your terminal
npm i -g @railway/cli
railway login
railway link [projectID]
Finally, run railway up to deploy your app.
