Railway

Apps, databases and jobs without server setup

What it is

Railway is a platform where apps, databases, volumes and background jobs run as services inside a shared project. Code comes from GitHub, as a Docker image or via railway up from a local folder, and the services talk to each other over a private network. Environments such as staging or previews are isolated copies of the project, and billing is based on usage.

Install
npm i -g @railway/cli
Why it made the cut
  • A visual project canvas for every service
  • Private networking between services
  • CLI and MCP server for coding agents
