Problem: Railway deployment failing with error: 'failed to compute cache key: "/requirements.txt": not found' Root Cause: Railway was building from root directory but Dockerfile references files in backend/ directory (requirements.txt, services/, etc.) Solution: Add buildContext field to railway.json to specify backend/ as the build directory. Changes: - Add "buildContext": "backend" to railway.json build configuration - Railway now correctly builds from backend/ directory - All COPY commands in Dockerfile now resolve correctly Result: Railway deployment builds successfully
