Deploy infrastructure from code — databases, services, and cron jobs in a few clicks.
Railway turns deployment into a push-to-deploy flow. Connect a GitHub repo, pick your services and databases, and Railway handles provisioning, networking, and scaling. It's the fastest path from 'it works on my machine' to a live URL.
Who it's for: Indie hackers, startups, and full-stack developers who want Heroku-like simplicity without the Heroku price.
Push a repo and Railway provisions services, databases, and networking.
One-click provisioned databases with backups and replicas.
Scale to zero and only pay for what you run.
Built-in logs, metrics, and deploy history.
Railway is our default recommendation for shipping side projects and MVPs in 2026. It's faster to set up than raw cloud and cheaper than most PaaS alternatives once you're past the free tier.
