Personal experience between Fly.io and Railway.com - Railway wins for me hands down. I have used both and the Railways support is stellar too, in comparison. Fly.io never responded to my query about data deletion till date. Despite emailing on their support email.

I have had my Railway app online till date without any major downtimes too. I recommend anyone looking for a decent replacement to try them.

I've used Railway control panel maybe a total of 10 times in my life and half the time it was having weird issues. Control panel UI not loading or not working, actions failing, deploys randomly failing... I love the idea but in practice it's not something I'd want to use for anything serious.

Fly builds on their own hardware. Is Railway doing the same? If not, that'd explain some of why Railway has relatively less number of outages (they're engineering fewer things).

I understand that end-users want reliability (and Fly gets a bad rep despite pretty significant investment on this front in the past 2 years), but such outages aren't exclusive to one provider & not the other. Building cloud infra is no one's definition of easy.

How does it compare in terms of price?
