# Deploy bots that run 24/7 in one click

Templates in this category deploy bots and messaging APIs in one click. Evolution API is the most deployed and exposes a WhatsApp REST API. Telegram bot starters exist for Python and TypeScript, and Discord templates cover discord.js, Python bots, and Lavalink for audio.

Bots run 24/7 on always-on servers with no cold starts, so they respond at any hour. Pricing is usage based and you can start on a free trial.

## Common questions about Bot templates

### How do I host a Telegram bot 24/7?

Deploy a Telegram bot template, set your bot token as an environment variable, and the bot runs continuously on always-on servers. No machine of yours needs to stay online.

### Can I host a Discord bot on Railway?

Yes. Templates exist for discord.js with TypeScript and for Python, plus Lavalink if your bot streams audio. Each one deploys in one click and runs around the clock.

### Is there a WhatsApp API template?

Yes. Evolution API is the most deployed bot template and exposes a REST API for WhatsApp. Deploy it in one click and drive messaging over HTTP.

### Why does always-on hosting matter for bots?

Bots need to hold a connection or answer webhooks at any time. Templates run with no cold starts and nothing sleeps unless you turn on App Sleeping, so messages never wait for a server to wake up.
