Railway is a platform-as-a-service that deploys applications, databases, and services from a Git repo with minimal configuration. Founded in 2020 (and rebranded from railway.app to railway.com), it operates across four regions with usage-based billing and a 99.9% uptime SLA. It targets developers and small teams wanting quick, infrastructure-light deployments, offering one-time trial credit rather than an ongoing free tier and community support on lower tiers. It supports open standards and easy data export, with moderate vendor lock-in. It is SOC 2 compliant.
