Railway Hobby

Railway Hobby is the free/entry-level tier of Railway — a cloud platform that abstracts infrastructure for deploying applications and services with minimal configuration.

Railway provides a unified interface for:

• Deploying code from Git or Docker containers
• Managed databases and storage plugins
• Automatic provisioning of networking, SSL, and DNS
• Automatic scaling based on usage
• Integration with environment variables and secrets
• Logs and metrics in the dashboard

Railway focuses on developer experience, enabling teams to ship backend services, web apps, cron jobs, and data stores without managing servers or provisioning VMs.

Hobby tier is suitable for learning, prototypes, small projects, and early-stage deployments with soft usage limits and shared infrastructure. Production workloads should use higher tiers with guaranteed capacity and quotas.
