Connect the repository, Railpack builds it, the service gets a domain with TLS. Databases from templates, usage drawn per minute from a prepaid balance, everything on EU nodes.

$ skiffly domainRailpack inspects the repository and picks the build for Go; most projects need no configuration. A Dockerfile in the repository always wins.

Skiffly injects PORT into every service and routes the public domain to it. Set the port in the service settings when your app listens on a fixed one; the default is 8080 for Go, 8080 when nothing is set.

.skiffly/skiffly.ts declares the service, its databases and the references between them. skiffly config plan shows the diff, skiffly config apply makes it so. The API mirrors railway/iac.

});Deploy a database next to the Go service and reference its variables: ${{Postgres.DATABASE_URL}} is wired on the private network, no public port.
skiffly variables set KEY=value, or in .skiffly/skiffly.ts. Reference other services with ${{Postgres.DATABASE_URL}} and environment-wide values with ${{shared.NAME}}. Secrets are encrypted at rest.skiffly connect postgres.
