Why deploy on Railyard
Railyard runs it standalone on a server you already pay for — no addons to provision, with zero-downtime deploys and scaling still included.
Deploying Datasette 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
- Publishing a read-only SQLite dataset as a browsable website and JSON API
- Quick exploratory data analysis over a SQLite export
- A lightweight data portal for public datasets
Good to know
- Boots against an empty database (--create makes one if it doesn't exist) — upload or write your own .db file onto the mounted volume to actually serve data
- No write API or authentication out of the box — it's a read-only data browser unless you add plugins for either
