Why deploy on Railyard
Railyard provisions all 2 services in this stack together — cal, cal-db — wired to reach each other over the private network, on a server you already pay for.
Deploying Cal.com is one piece of a bigger stack you can keep building — add a database, a worker, a cache, or another app, all on the same servers you already pay for.
Good for
- A self-hosted Calendly for booking pages, team round-robin scheduling and availability
- Pairing with the booking link sent from support — one less SaaS subscription for scheduling
Good to know
- This covers upstream's core web app only — its separate Platform API service (api.cal.com-style embeds/third-party integrations, a different image on its own port) isn't wired up here; the scheduling app itself works standalone
- Upstream's own reference compose also wires in Redis for caching/rate-limiting at larger scale — not included here and not yet confirmed whether its absence causes any issue at normal usage, flagged for the live verification pass
- No volume — Cal.com keeps no app-level state outside Postgres
