### Deploy on Railway is at the same heading level as ### Production Deployment, which makes the hierarchy confusing (it reads as a sibling section rather than a subsection). Consider making Deploy on Railway a level deeper (e.g., ####) so it clearly nests under Production Deployment.

This example is also available as a Railway template that deploys:

- the `postgres` demo app
- a PostgreSQL database for the Postgres World
- a separate observability deployment for inspecting runs

After deploying the template, trigger a workflow run against your app deployment:

```bash
curl -X POST \
-H 'content-type: application/json' \
--data '{"email":"your-test@example.com"}' \
https://YOUR-APP-URL/api/signup
```

You should get back:

```json
{"message":"User signup workflow started"}
```

Then open your observability deployment URL to watch the run progress and confirm that it completes successfully.
