Railway

Railway is an application hosting platform that takes a repository and runs it. The workflow is deliberately short: connect a Git provider, pick a repository, and Railway detects the language, installs dependencies, builds, and starts the process. Databases and other services are added as separate components in the same project. The product's model is a project containing services. A service can be a repository deployment, a database from a template, or a container image. Services reference each other through generated environment variables, so a web service gets a database connection string without a manual copy step. Configuration is optional rather than required. A repository with no build file still deploys through language detection, and a repository that needs control can add a config file to override the build command, the start command, or the health check. The platform publishes usage-based pricing, a status page, and a changelog, which is what makes the operational claims checkable.
