# Railway

> Railway is an all-in-one intelligent cloud platform for deploying, scaling, and monitoring applications with zero configuration.

Railway is an all-in-one cloud platform that simplifies deploying, scaling, and monitoring applications. It eliminates the complexity of traditional cloud infrastructure by automatically configuring deployments, handling networking, and providing instant previews. Railway supports over 2 million developers and processes more than 27 million deployments per month, serving companies like TripAdvisor, Cognizant, and Mercado Libre.

- **Zero-Config Deployment** allows you to connect your GitHub repo and Railway automatically detects your stack, sets the right configuration, and deploys instantly without learning new tools or writing YAML files.

- **Visual Infrastructure Canvas** provides a real-time view of your entire stack on an interactive canvas where you can see services, databases, and connections at a glance while editing settings directly in context.

- **Instant Networking** delivers private connections, public endpoints, SSL certificates, and load balancing automatically from the moment you deploy, with 100 Gbps internal networking and support for HTTP, TCP, gRPC, and WebSockets.

- **Flexible Scaling** enables vertical scaling of CPU and RAM or horizontal scaling with replicas and load balancing, plus global region deployment to run applications closer to users.

- **Comprehensive Observability** includes built-in logs, metrics, and custom dashboards with configurable alerts via Slack, Discord, or email to monitor resource usage and stay ahead of issues.

- **Preview Environments** automatically create isolated environments for every pull request, enabling teams to test changes before merging with one-click rollbacks available when needed.

- **Database Support** offers one-click deployment of PostgreSQL, Redis, MongoDB, MySQL, and other open-source databases with built-in backups and volume storage.

- **Usage-Based Pricing** charges only for actual CPU and memory consumption by the second, eliminating overprovisioning and helping teams save up to 40% compared to traditional cloud providers.

To get started, sign up for a free trial with $5 in credits, connect your GitHub repository, and Railway handles the rest. The platform supports Docker images, custom Dockerfiles, and local deployments via CLI, making it suitable for everything from personal projects to enterprise production workloads.
