Railway's managed PostgreSQL supports the pgvector extension out of the box — no superuser SQL is required.

On Railway, NEXT_PUBLIC_API_URL must be passed as a Docker build argument, not as a runtime environment variable.

Public Railway domains for a service are not assigned until you explicitly click 'Generate Domain' under Settings → Networking.

CORS_ALLOW_ORIGIN on the backend service cannot be set until after the frontend service gets its Railway domain — plan for a two-pass deploy.
