What it is
Railway lets you spin up an app, a Postgres, a Redis and a cron in a few clicks with usage-based pricing. Perfect for prototypes, side projects and small backends where you don't want to babysit a server.
Deploy Backend Postgres PaaS
Why I use it
I use Railway to demo a backend fast to a client before committing to a real server. Costs creep up at scale, so I migrate heavy apps to Hetzner later.
