Heroku used to be an excellent choice for many developers who wanted to release and deploy their applications quickly. In recent years, we¡¯ve also seen the rise of deployment platforms like Vercel, which are more modern, lightweight and easy to use but designed for front-end applications. A full-stack alternative in this space is , a PaaS cloud platform that streamlines everything from GitHub/Docker deployment to production observability.
Railway supports most mainstream programming frameworks, databases as well as containerized deployment. As a long-term hosted platform for an application, you may need to compare the costs of different platforms carefully. At present, our team has had a good experience with Railway's deployment and observability. The operation is smooth and can be well integrated with the continuous deployment practices we advocate.
