Deploying Postgres from GraphQL

Hello ! 👋
I'm having a heck of a time trying to deploy a postgresql database through the GraphQL endpoint, but I'm able to create the project and post what always ends up being a blank template to said project. I'm looking to deploy both a postgresql database and one of my private github repos. Deploying A Project

mutation createProject {
  projectCreate(input: {name: "that new new"}) {
    name
    id
  }
}

mutation createProject {
  projectCreate(input: {name: "that new new"}) {
    name
    id
  }
}

Deploying PostgreSQL

mutation deployDatabase {
  templateDeploy(
    input: {
       services: {
          serviceName: "postgresql", 
          template: "postgresql"
       }, 
       projectId: "<CODE>", 
       templateCode: "postgresql"}) {
    projectId
  }
}

mutation deployDatabase {
  templateDeploy(
    input: {
       services: {
          serviceName: "postgresql", 
          template: "postgresql"
       }, 
       projectId: "<CODE>", 
       templateCode: "postgresql"}) {
    projectId
  }
}

Question - Is what I'm doing possible through the API, and can someone help point me in the right direction? Thanks in advance!

N/A

It seems to not deploy the required environment variables, I might just be missing something from the query that sets these up

Brody•9mo ago

there is one dead simple way to figure out how to do this - open your dev tools and watch the networking calls as you replicate what you want to achive through the dashboard

MonnicoreOP•9mo ago

That sounds perfect , thanks Brody !

Brody•9mo ago

but im curious now, i'd love to hear your use-case for this!

MonnicoreOP•9mo ago

Working on a CMS that I want to run on Railway haha

Brody•9mo ago

and that will allow the user to deploy databases on the fly?

MonnicoreOP•9mo ago

Yea, so basically a service that'll help agencies keep up with the times redacted

Brody•9mo ago

i should probably tell you that theres a 10 volume limit on the hobby plan, meaning you are limited to 10 databases per project, assuming databases are the only services with volumes in this senario

MonnicoreOP•9mo ago

Yea, database will be the only volume needed. Will need to bump to Pro/Enterprise when I have a MVP likely Does Pro have that same limit?

Brody•9mo ago

i dont know the volume limit per project on pro, its more than 10 though and if you go beyond the pro plan you can get your limits bumped to anything you'd need

MonnicoreOP•9mo ago

Ah, sick. Good to have that option

Brody•9mo ago

yep! railway can scale with you!

MonnicoreOP•9mo ago

Nowhere else I'd rather build this my friend!

Brody•9mo ago

happy to hear that 🙂
