Option A: Deno (Recommended)

• Use deno-server.ts + railway.toml
• Modern TypeScript runtime
• No package management needed

Option B: Node.js

• Use node-server.js + package.json
• Traditional Node.js with Express
• Standard npm ecosystem

# Create a new repository with your chosen files
mkdir luma-cors-proxy
cd luma-cors-proxy

# For Deno deployment:
cp deno-server.ts ./server.ts
cp railway.toml ./railway.toml

# OR for Node.js deployment:
cp node-server.js ./server.js
cp package.json ./package.json

# Add your README
cp README.md ./README.md

# Initialize git and push
git init
git add .
git commit -m "Initial commit - Luma CORS Proxy for Railway"
git remote add origin https://github.com/yourusername/luma-cors-proxy.git
git push -u origin main

1. Go to railway.app
2. Sign up/Login (can use GitHub)
3. Click "Deploy from GitHub repo"
4. Select your repository
5. Railway auto-detects your runtime and deploys!

In Railway dashboard:

• Go to your project
• Click "Variables" tab
• Add: LUMA_API_KEY = secret-FMPoZlwNgVJ0qkCSn2EIHpTUA

After deployment, Railway gives you a URL like:

https://luma-cors-proxy-production.up.railway.app

# Test basic functionality
curl https://your-app.up.railway.app

# Test next3 filter
curl "https://your-app.up.railway.app?next3=true"

# Test with calendar ID
curl "https://your-app.up.railway.app?calendar_id=cal-0pgAb0xbjL529WF&next3=true"

Replace your API calls with the new Railway URL:

// Use your new Railway proxy
fetch('https://your-app.up.railway.app')
  .then(response => response.json())
  .then(data => {
    console.log('Luma events:', data);
    // Use your event data here
  });

Your proxy is now running on Railway with:

• ✅ Same functionality as Val Town
• ✅ Custom domain support
• ✅ Auto-scaling
• ✅ Environment variables
• ✅ Git-based deployments
• ✅ Free tier available

Deployment fails?

• Check Railway logs in dashboard
• Verify file names match the runtime choice
• Ensure all files are committed to git

Proxy not working?

• Test the health endpoint: /health (Node.js version)
• Check environment variables are set
• Compare response with your Val Town version

CORS issues?

• Verify the proxy is returning proper CORS headers
• Test with a simple curl command first
• Check browser network tab for error details

1. Custom Domain: Add your own domain in Railway dashboard
2. Monitoring: Set up Railway's built-in monitoring
3. Scaling: Configure auto-scaling if needed
4. Backup: Keep your Val Town version as backup during transition

Your client will love the Railway deployment! 🎯
