SYSTEM DOCUMENTATION & REQUIREMENTS

💡 This Skill includes references (resource) components.

What problem does it solve?

Railway deployments require coordinated lifecycle management across environments. This skill provides commands to list deployments, view logs, redeploy, and remove deployments, enabling rapid troubleshooting and operational control.

Core Features & Use Cases

  • List deployments for a service to monitor status and history.
  • View and filter deployment logs (deploy/build) to diagnose issues.
  • Redeploy or restart a deployment to apply changes or recover from failures.
  • Remove a deployment while preserving the service (not deleting the service itself).
  • Note: Removal stops the current deployment but does not delete the linked service; use the environment skill with isDeleted for full service deletion.

Quick Start

List deployments for a linked service and then inspect logs to diagnose issues.

FAQPage Schema
How do I view Railway deployment logs to troubleshoot build errors?

To view Railway deployment logs, you can use the railway logs command to filter and inspect deploy or build output. This allows you to diagnose issues and identify specific errors causing deployment failures for a linked service.

Can I redeploy a Railway service without deleting the entire environment?

Yes, you can redeploy a Railway service without deleting the environment. The railway redeploy command restarts the deployment to apply changes or recover from failures, preserving the service configuration and linked environment completely.

What is the best way to list deployment history and status for a Railway service?

The best way to list deployment history is using the railway deployment list command. It provides visibility into the status and history of deployments for any explicitly linked service across your Railway environments.

Does removing a Railway deployment delete the linked service itself?

No, removing a Railway deployment does not delete the linked service. The railway down command only stops the current deployment, meaning full service deletion requires using the environment skill with the isDeleted flag.

When do I need to explicitly link a service before managing Railway deployments?

You need to explicitly link a service before managing Railway deployments because deployment visibility, troubleshooting, and lifecycle actions all require an active service linkage to target the correct environment and application context.
