Railway
PaaS to deploy apps in a couple of clicks (since 2020) · 4 locations
Hosting overview
Railway is a modern PaaS (since 2020): push a repo from GitHub and it builds and deploys your app with no server setup. It supports Node.js, Python, Go, Docker, databases (PostgreSQL, MySQL, Redis) and background workers. Regions in the US, Europe (Amsterdam) and Singapore, usage-based hourly billing, card payments. Ideal for prototypes, MVPs and vibe-coded projects from Lovable, Bolt, v0 or Cursor — deploy in minutes. New users get $20 in credit via our link.
