About Railway
A cloud platform for deploying and hosting applications without manual infrastructure configuration.
Railway is a hosting platform that lets developers deploy applications directly from their code, handling the underlying infrastructure automatically. It supports project-based organization with environment management, making it suitable for individual developers and teams who want to ship code without configuring servers or cloud resources manually.
Where to start
Sign up for Railway and use the CLI to authenticate with `railway login`, then connect your project and deploy with `railway up`. For CI/CD environments, set the `RAILWAY_TOKEN` environment variable instead of interactive login.
