Railway

Deploy any containerised agent to production in minutes — zero infrastructure complexity

Visit Railwaymanagedcontainerised
What it is

Railway is a deployment platform that makes it trivially easy to run containerised applications, background workers, cron jobs, and databases in a single project. It detects frameworks automatically, provisions infrastructure on push, and provides environment variable management, logs, and metrics with no DevOps configuration required.

Best for

Solo founders and small teams who want a production server for their agent without managing Kubernetes, EC2, or complex cloud configs. Supports long-running services, not just serverless functions.

Who it's for

Non-DevOps engineers who want a Heroku-like experience with modern infrastructure. Pay-as-you-go pricing based on resource usage; free tier for experimentation.

Blueprint Note

Agent Architecture Fit

Railway is where your agent runs. It's the persistent compute layer that hosts your agent process — whether that's an API server, a long-running loop, or a scheduled worker. Unlike serverless platforms with strict execution time limits, Railway supports agents that hold state across invocations or run multi-minute jobs. Most agent blueprints that aren't purely serverless will point to Railway or a similar always-on host as their compute environment.

Next step

Your agent starts with a blueprint.

A blueprint tells you which tools to use, where they fit, and how they connect — before you write a line of code.
