About Railway
Railway is a cloud platform for deploying web apps, servers, databases and background services. It detects your project and builds it automatically.
What it does
Railway deploys your code from a repository, detects the language and runs the build. Its dashboard shows live build logs, activity history and controls for scaling. Databases and other services can be added to the same project, so an app and its data can be managed together. The platform describes automatic scaling, monitoring and security as part of its core service, and it aims to reduce the setup work that comes before a first deploy.
Key features
- Deploy from a repository with automatic builds
- Live build logs and activity history
- Add databases to the same project
- Automatic scaling
- Built-in monitoring
Who it's for
Developers and small teams who want to ship a full-stack app without writing much infrastructure configuration. Startups and agencies that want one place to run several services can also use it, and larger companies can request a demo for team needs.
Pricing and good to know
Railway's pricing page covers its plans and usage rates, so check it for current figures before you start a larger project. Costs depend on the resources your services use, so keep an eye on usage as traffic grows. The platform runs on Railway's own infrastructure.
