First steps with Railway and hosting/deploying software

Hello! I have coded and deployed locally a Django project working as a backend (with MySQL) and also coded a FastAPI solution to access the database and work as the API for the mobile applications to connect with. My question is, can i deploy both solution (Django and FastAPI) and put them to work together without problems with Railway? If possible i would appreciate any documentation about it that i can read that points me to the right direction! Thanks in advance!

Yes, you can host your project on Railway. Here are the Railway docs: https://docs.railway.app

also a suggestion, swap off of mySQL if you can. It’s a memory hog on Railway and will cost you money @Brody will have suggestions on what to use instead

MariaDB, should be a drop in replacement for MySQL, should also use less memory
