Railway

Push a repo, get a running service with a database.

Visit Railway Freemium

Railway provisions a service from a repository and gives you a URL, environment variables, and a one-click database. It handles the middle ground that serverless struggles with: long-running processes, background workers, and anything needing a persistent connection. Pricing is usage-based with a monthly credit on the free tier.

Where it falls short

Usage-based billing means you need to watch resource consumption, and the platform has changed its pricing model more than once.
