What is this 'railway'? I am assuming that a domain like railway.com should be about trains. Why does every tech company have to name themselves as a one word .com website and what they do is unrelated and vague to their own name? Does every tech company think they are Apple and have to register every word in the dictionary and redefine it as a technology company? Really bad name for a company.

#14They have a nice UI, support deploy any kind of backend-involved apps as long as it can be built into a docker container. While many PaaS out there seems to prioritize frontend only apps.
And they have a free plan, so people can just quickly deploy some POC before decide if it's good to move on.
Anyone know if there is any other PaaS that come with a low cost starter plan like this (a side from paying for a VPS)?

#18Oof, off topic but the trains were out of service here for my commute last night so I though from the headline this meant that somehow all trains everywhere just stopped working. Glad to see it’s just some Saas product that’s down
Indeed! Remote bricking of trains is perhaps a thing: https://www.thedrive.com/news/hackers-beat-anti-repair-softw...
Re: Railway (PaaS) global outage
#19I actually think the title is misleading. I'm not sure actual existing deployments are affected? Seemingly just new ones are not working?
Re: Railway (PaaS) global outage
#20Joke about train line aside, I think Railway fits right in the spot that Heroku left. They have a nice UI, support deploy any kind of backend-involved apps as long as it can be built into a docker container. While many PaaS out there seems to prioritize frontend only apps.
