Migrating from Fly.io

So i have an app on Node.js with express server and stuff, MongoDB, Bunny CDN. I want to deploy it to Railway. I want to know how's it done. Can i deploy my app using same dockerfile with Railway CLI ? or i need to setup Prisma for the todos and ... i don't know what then yet.. In other words my question is: what's the plan when i have a ready to go app on my laptop and i just want it up an running in the clouds?

if you have an app in a github repo with a dockerfile that works on fly, it should by all means work on railway without issue you would of course need to copy your mongo data from from to railway though

1. then you can use the cli with railway up the same as you do with fly and their cli 2. well i assume you want to run mongo on railway too, so yeah you would need bring your data over, unless im wrong and you use atlas?

coming to railway, you will need to know such things as where your database is hosted https://docs.railway.app/guides/cli#installing-the-cli

i have one other question then: ) i'd like to know how to make the cli to patch the image instead of uploading the whole thing over again. by default it seems to send it whole. 2nd time the build was 4 times faster but uploading was same as the first. is there a tweak to tell it to upload only modified layers.

your project will always be uploaded in full, and railway already does layer caching

cool. thnx. can i use A and AAA recs for domain? i see only CNAME option
Brody
Brody8mo ago
you can only use CNAMEs as railway does not provide static IPs yet
