Railway is a cloud infrastructure platform that lets developers provision infrastructure, run and develop services locally, and deploy them to the cloud with minimal configuration. It provides a curated library of starters and templates that can be deployed in one click, a publishing flow for community templates, and a "Railway Button" to link GitHub repositories for instant cloning and deployment. Railway exposes configuration for environment variables, plugins, start commands, health checks and domain attachment, plus community-driven feedback and support channels (Discord and an open feedback board). The platform's value is in reducing operational overhead, accelerating prototyping, and streamlining the path from local development to production-ready cloud deployments.
