First time checking out railway product- it seems like a “low code” and visual way to define and operate infrastructure?

Like, if Terraform had a nice UI?

Kinda. It's like if you had everything from an infra stack but didn't need to manage it (Kubernetes for resilience, Argo for rollouts, Terraform for safely evolving infrastructure, DataDog for observability)

If you've heard of serverless, this is one step farther; infraless

Give us your code, we will spin it up, keep it up, automate rollouts service discovery, cluster scaling, monitoring, etc

for additional social proof

I've been using railway since 2022 and it's been great. I host all my personal projects there and I can go from code to a url by copy-pasting my single dockerfile around.
