Deploy MySQL instance to RailwayApp in One Minute.

Deploying a database online can be challenging, especially when it requires setting up a virtual machine and configuring everything from scratch. Railway simplifies this process by eliminating the need for VM setup, allowing you to deploy your database in just a minute. With Railway, you can focus on building your application instead of dealing with infrastructure. In fact, you could have your database up and running in one minute and start testing it the next.

Here is how. Navigate to railway.com and create an account using Github. I will be using a hobby plan for this demo. Follow the following steps.

Step 1. Once logged in, click one Deploy a new project.

Step 2. From the List of option. Select Deploy MySQL Database.
