Why deploy on Railyard
Railyard provisions postgres alongside it automatically — zero-downtime deploys, automatic backups and scaling come from the same platform, on a server you already pay for.
Deploying Ory Kratos 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
- User registration, login and account recovery as an API behind your own frontend
- MFA and passwordless flows without building them from scratch
- Pairing with Ory Hydra for a full OAuth2 + identity stack
Good to know
- Postgres is wired up automatically; the release phase runs migrations before boot
- Runs with --dev (the bundled example identity schema) so it boots with no config — replace it with your own identity.schema.json and drop --dev before handling anything sensitive
