It includes production-ready settings out of the box: WhiteNoise for static file serving, gunicorn as the WSGI server, Argon2 password hashing, and security headers. The app runs database migrations automatically on each deploy and includes a health check endpoint for zero-downtime deployments. Environment variables like SECRET\_KEY and DATABASE\_URL are configured automatically by Railway. ### Why Deploy Django Starter Template on Railway Railway handles infrastructure so you can focus on building your Django app. It automatically provisions a PostgreSQL database, sets environment variables, runs migrations on each deploy, and provides zero-downtime deployments with health checks.
