Railway is a software deployment platform designed to simplify and streamline the process of deploying applications for developers. Founded in 2020, the company offers a cloud-based infrastructure that allows developers to provision databases and services without complex configurations. Railway's platform automatically infers deployment requirements from GitHub repositories and enables one-click deployments through its "Railway Button" feature. The company's technology aims to reduce the time and effort traditionally required for DevOps tasks, allowing developers to focus more on core product development.
As of May 2022, Railway had been used by over 50,000 developers to launch more than 900,000 projects. The platform saw significant growth, with user numbers increasing 30 times over the course of a year. Railway's services cater to a range of users, from individual developers working on hobby projects to high-growth companies. The company operates on a resource-based pricing model, where users only pay for the resources they consume.
Railway's approach to deployment involves providing a dashboard for building, deploying, and monitoring apps and services. The platform offers features such as the "infinite shipping canvas," which allows users to request infrastructure components using natural language commands. Railway then manages the underlying services and configurations, redeploying them based on infrastructure changes.
