# Deploying the Agent to Railway
This guide covers deploying the LangGraph agent to Railway.
## Prerequisites
- [Railway account](https://railway.app/) (free tier available)
- Railway CLI (optional but recommended): `npm install -g @railway/cli`
- Google AI API key from [Google AI Studio](https://makersuite.google.com/app/apikey)
## Method 1: Deploy via Railway CLI (Recommended)
1. **Install Railway CLI** (if not already installed):
```bash
npm install -g @railway/cli
```
2. **Login to Railway**:
```bash
railway login
```
3. **Initialize Railway project** (from the agent directory):
```bash
cd agent
railway init
```
4. **Set environment variables**:
```bash
railway variables set GOOGLE_API_KEY=your-google-ai-api-key-here
```
5. **Deploy**:
```bash
railway up
```
6. **Get the deployment URL**:
```bash
railway domain
```
## Method 2: Deploy via Railway Dashboard
1. **Go to [Railway Dashboard](https://railway.app/dashboard)**
2. **Create New Project**:
- Click "New Project"
- Select "Deploy from GitHub repo"
- Connect your GitHub account if not already connected
- Select this repository
3. **Configure the service**:
- Railway will auto-detect the Dockerfile
- Root directory: `/agent`
- Port: 8000 (automatically detected)
4. **Set Environment Variables**:
- Go to the "Variables" tab
- Add: `GOOGLE_API_KEY` = your Google AI API key
- (Optional) Add LangSmith variables for tracing
5. **Deploy**:
- Railway will automatically build and deploy
- Wait for the build to complete (usually 2-3 minutes)
6. **Get the URL**:
- Go to "Settings" > "Networking"
- Click "Generate Domain"
- Your agent will be available at: `https://your-project.up.railway.app`
## Method 3: Deploy via Railway Button
Add this to your repository README:
```markdown
[![Deploy on Railway](https://railway.app/button.svg)](https://railway.app/template/your-template-id)
```
## Updating the Frontend
After deploying the agent, update your Next.js frontend to use the Railway URL:
1. Open `src/app/api/copilotkit/route.ts`
2. Update the agent URL:
```typescript
const agent = new LangGraphAgent({
agentUrl: process.env.AGENT_URL || "https://your-project.up.railway.app",
});
```
3. Add to your `.env.local`:
```
AGENT_URL=https://your-project.up.railway.app
```
## Health Check
Once deployed, verify the agent is running:
```bash
curl https://your-project.up.railway.app/health
```
## Monitoring
- View logs: `railway logs`
- View metrics: Railway Dashboard > Metrics tab
- Add LangSmith for tracing: Set `LANGCHAIN_TRACING_V2=true` and `LANGCHAIN_API_KEY`
## Troubleshooting
### Build fails with "No space left on device"
- Railway free tier has limited build space
- Try removing unused dependencies from requirements.txt
### Agent timeout errors
- Railway free tier has request timeouts
- For production, upgrade to Railway Pro
### Environment variables not working
- Ensure variables are set in Railway dashboard or via CLI
- Restart the deployment after adding variables
## Cost Optimization
Railway pricing:
- Free tier: $5 credit/month
- Pro: $20/month + usage-based pricing
- Image generation with Gemini uses Google AI quota, not Railway resources
For production deployment, consider:
- Monitoring image generation usage
- Implementing rate limiting
- Caching generated images
