What you get with Sevalla that Railway doesn't offer

Static site hosting

Deploy up to 100 static sites for free, with every file served directly from Cloudflare's 260+ edge locations. Railway has no dedicated static site hosting, which means serving static files requires workarounds.

Deployment pipelines

Push changes from development to QA to production without rebuilding. Sevalla pipelines support unlimited custom stages, a Promote feature for moving builds between environments, and A/B testing across regions (all from the dashboard).

Built-in load balancers

Route traffic intelligently across your services using Sevalla's edge-native load balancers, powered by Cloudflare. Choose weighted routing for canary deployments and gradual migrations, or geographic routing to send users to the nearest region.

Object storage with public access

Sevalla's S3-compatible object storage lets you optionally make files publicly accessible, served directly via Cloudflare's edge with no ingress or egress fees. Railway's Buckets are private-only by default. Making files publicly accessible requires proxying through your application or generating presigned URLs.

“We evaluated several platforms, including Railway and Sevalla. After a closer look at their features and pricing models, Sevalla proved to be the better fit. With Sevalla, you no longer need to worry about uptime or managing infrastructure — it simply works.”
