Railway
Intelligent cloud deployment platform
About
Founded in 2020, Railway is a cloud infrastructure provider that simplifies deploying and scaling applications with instant deployments, managed databases, networking, and auto-deploy from Git. The platform has grown to 100,000 paid users across 25,000 businesses, including 31% of Fortune 500 companies for team or departmental workloads, and notable customers such as Bilt, Intuit's GoCo, TripAdvisor's Cruise Critic, and MGM Resorts. In January 2026, Railway raised $100M to build AI-native cloud infrastructure, positioning itself as a challenger to AWS with a developer-first model that prioritizes speed and simplicity over configurability. Railway abstracts infrastructure complexity away entirely, making it the default choice for fast-moving engineering teams that want to ship without managing Kubernetes or cloud networking.
