Railway

Railway is a modern PaaS that offers "Infrastructure from Code". It introspects your repo and deploys it. Can also deploy Databases (Postgres, Redis, Mongo).

When to Use

• Heroku Alternative: Cheaper and more modern interface than Heroku.
• Databases: Spining up a private network with a Service and a Redis/Postgres DB is 1 click.
• Monorepos: Excellent support for building multiple services (frontend, backend, worker) from one repo.

Quick Start (CLI)

railway login
railway init
railway up
