# Build and Deploy Medusa: Using Railway, Cloudflare, and NeonDB
## Description
Build and deploy a [Medusa](https://medusajs.com)-powered ecommerce backend. You will deploy your store's Medusa backend server to [Railway](https://railway.app), the Store Admin frontend to [Cloudflare](https://cloudflare.com).
[**Link to Article**](https://medium.com/@markmunyaka)
## Getting Started
Clone this repo.
```sh
git clone https://github.com/Marktawa/golden-embers.git
```
## Install and test server locally
Open `store` directory in your terminal.
```sh
cd golden-embers/store
```
Install dependencies
```sh
npm install
```
Create a Postgres Database on [Neon](console.neon.tech).
Copy connection string from your Neon dashboard.
Create a `.env` inside `store` folder and update it with the connection string to your Neon db.
```sh
touch .env
```
```
DATABASE_URL=
```
Seed database
```sh
npx medusa seed --seed-file="./data/seed.json"
```
Start Medusa server.
```sh
npx medusa develop
```
The Medusa server will start running on port 9000. The Medusa Admin User Interface will run on port 7001.
Test your server by running the following command in a new terminal session:
```sh
curl localhost:9000/store/products
```
If the server is working correctly, you should see a list of products.
Visit [localhost:7001](http://localhost:7001) in your browser to see the Medusa Admin Dashboard. Use the Email `admin@medusa-test.com` and Password `supersecret` to log in.
In the **Products** section of your dashboard you should see a list of products. This is the dummy data you seeded into your database in the previous step.
