Why deploy on Railyard
Railyard provisions redis alongside it automatically — zero-downtime deploys, automatic backups and scaling come from the same platform, on a server you already pay for.
Deploying Cap 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 drop-in CAPTCHA replacement for a sign-up or login form without tracking visitors
- Bot-mitigation on a form or API endpoint using proof-of-work instead of an image puzzle
- Self-hosted alternative to reCAPTCHA/hCaptcha for privacy-conscious sites
Good to know
- Redis is wired up automatically for challenge storage
- ADMIN_KEY is your dashboard login — treat it like any other admin password
