Railway Infrastructure as Code (IaC) authoring helpers for Python.

Install: pip install railway-sdk (or pip install -e . from this repo) then author .railway/railway.py. Prefer one file per project that owns the whole environment. Named partials are a last resort for split repos that cannot share a file.

from railway_sdk import define_railway, github, postgres, project, service

@define_railway
def main(ctx=None):
    db = postgres("db")
    web = service(
        "web",
        source=github("org/app"),
        start="gunicorn app:app",
        env={"DATABASE_URL": db.env.DATABASE_URL},
    )
    return project("my-app", resources=[db, web])

The CLI evaluates this file and diffs against the linked environment. Config as Code migration lives in the CLI (railway config migrate --lang py).

Last resort only: set module-level PARTIAL = "api" (same role as export const partial in TypeScript). Do not rename a partial after apply.
