You can provision a Postgres database on Railway by deploying official Railway templates through GraphQL queries, which checks for existing databases first and configures secure private-network connection variables automatically.

Yes, you can connect your Railway backend to Redis using secure private connection variables. The Skill inspects environment configs and generates variable references for safe private-network access between your services.

Yes, the Railway database provisioning workflow supports MongoDB and MySQL alongside Postgres and Redis. It deploys official Railway templates and applies existing-database checks and service wiring for all four database types.

The best way to check for an existing Railway database is using GraphQL queries to inspect current services. This Skill performs these checks automatically before attempting template deployment to prevent duplicate database provisioning.

Frontend users should access Railway databases through an API to avoid exposing secure private-network connection variables. This Skill guides frontend access toward API-mediated connections while configuring secure private wiring for backend services.

Yes, you need jq installed to automate Railway database service wiring. The Skill depends on jq to parse JSON responses from Railway GraphQL queries, inspect environment configs, and extract variable references for private-network connections.
