${{Postgres.DATABASE_URL}}. - Use Case: A user says "add postgres and connect to my server" — the Skill checks for an existing Postgres instance, deploys the template if missing, waits for deployment, and stages the DATABASE_URL variable reference on the target service. ## Quick Start Ask the assistant to add a Postgres database to your Railway project and connect it to your backend service.High-intent search queries and answers about installing and using this skill.
Fetch the official postgres template via the Railway GraphQL API, then deploy it with the templateDeployV2 mutation using your project, environment, and workspace IDs. The template creates the service, volume, and connection variables automatically.
Add a variable reference like ${{Postgres.DATABASE_URL}} to your service's environment config. Backend services should use private URLs for internal networking, while frontends must use public URLs or route through a backend API.
Railway provides official maintained templates for PostgreSQL, Redis, MySQL, and MongoDB. Each includes pre-configured volumes, networking, and connection variables, deployed via template codes postgres, redis, mysql, and mongodb.
Frontends run in the browser and cannot access Railway's private network. They must use public URL variables with TCP proxy enabled, or preferably route through a backend API that connects to the database privately.
The workflow checks existing services by inspecting source.image in the environment config before creating anything. If a matching database image is found, it skips creation and proceeds directly to wiring connection variables.
