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 Faktory 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
- Background job processing shared across workers written in different languages
- A dashboard-first alternative to Sidekiq/Resque when workers aren't all Ruby
- Reliable job queues with retries, scheduling, and a built-in UI for ops visibility
Good to know
- The same FAKTORY_PASSWORD secures both the worker wire protocol (port 7419, not exposed by this template) and the web dashboard (7420, this app's public port)
- Point your workers' Faktory client at this app's private domain on port 7419, not the public dashboard URL
