In their own words
Railway
Railway is a deployment platform for teams that want to provision infrastructure, develop locally against it, and deploy services to the cloud. Projects can start from Docker images, GitHub repositories, local repositories, container registries, or templates. Railway offers PostgreSQL, MySQL, MongoDB, and Redis database templates with built-in backups, plus persistent volumes with up to 5 TB of storage. Networking includes public and private options, TCP proxying, custom domains, and managed TLS certificates. Services can scale vertically, horizontally, and across four regions. Operational tools include logs retained for up to 90 days, configurable dashboards, distributed tracing, health checks, usage limits, and alerts. Teams can use unlimited environments, pull-request and preview deployments, GitHub branch deploys, approval gates, audit logs, and rollbacks. Railway also provides a GraphQL API, a CLI, and iOS and Android apps for deploying, monitoring, and managing services. The Trial plan includes a one-time $5 free credit; Hobby costs $5 a month and Pro costs $20 a month. Enterprise pricing is custom.
Temps
Temps is a self-hosted deployment platform that combines deployment and developer tools in one Rust binary. It supports git-push deployments, pull request preview URLs, and zero-downtime rollouts. Its analytics cover visitors, custom events, session replay, and funnels, while OpenTelemetry ingestion handles traces, logs, and metrics. Temps also provides log history, continuous uptime monitoring, and real-user Web Vitals per page. Through its dashboard, it provisions PostgreSQL, MariaDB, MongoDB, Redis, and RustFS services. Analytics and operational data remain on the operator's infrastructure; telemetry is off by default. Temps says application secrets and credentials are encrypted before they reach the database using a key generated at installation and held by the operator. Self-hosting is available now, while Temps Cloud plans are marked coming soon. The self-hosted plan costs nothing. Listed cloud plans start at $29 a month, but are also marked coming soon. Temps states it is not SOC 2 certified. Temps Fleet desktop installers are available for macOS, Windows 10 or later, and 64-bit Linux.
