What is Railway?

Railway is a modern deployment platform that makes it effortless to deploy, scale, and manage applications and databases in the cloud. With GitHub integration, one-click database provisioning (PostgreSQL, MySQL, Redis, MongoDB), automatic deployments on push, and private networking between services, Railway provides the developer experience of Heroku with significantly better pricing and performance. It supports any language and framework, and its usage-based pricing model starts at just $5/month.
