Migrate Laravel React Sites to Railway
Budget: $10 – $30 USD
I’m looking to move 1–2 existing sites from their current hosting over to Railway. Each site has three distinct pieces—Laravel API, React (Vite) frontend, and a PostgreSQL database—and I want each of those pieces living in its own Railway project.
What I need you to do
• Import the current GitHub repositories and set up automated deployments so every push to the main branch triggers a new build on Railway.
• Provision fresh PostgreSQL instances in Railway and migrate the data from the existing databases.
• Configure environment variables, secrets, and build commands so both the Laravel backend and the React frontend deploy cleanly and independently.
• Make sure CORS, routing, and SSL are all in place so the decoupled frontend and backend operate smoothly even though they don’t need to talk to each other directly.
• Hand over a short README that explains the Railway setup, the GitHub workflow file(s), and any commands I’ll need for future maintenance.
Tech stack in play
Laravel, React + Vite, PostgreSQL, GitHub Actions (or Railway’s native CI).
If you’ve migrated similar stacks to Railway before and can get this running quickly, let’s talk.
