About Railway
Railway is a cloud deployment platform that takes an app from code to production in minutes. It detects your project automatically or builds from a Dockerfile, provisions databases like PostgreSQL, MySQL, Redis and MongoDB alongside your services, and manages environments, networking and observability in a visual canvas. A large template marketplace covers common stacks, and usage-based billing charges only for the CPU, memory and storage you actually consume. It is popular with indie developers, startups and AI builders who want Heroku-like simplicity. A free plan includes a small monthly credit; paid plans add included usage and team features.
