# Railway skill

Railway is a usage-based PaaS: draw a diagram of services, get Postgres, redis, and a deploy from git. Humans enjoy the canvas. The CLI and GraphQL API let agents provision environments. It sits between Heroku nostalgia and AWS gravity. We score the public product after the business-model resets of prior years, not the launch tweet. Twin Score on this directory is 84 for humans and 82 for agents, using the public rubric (interface, onboarding, human docs, collaboration, support, pricing fairness, accessibility, reliability versus API quality, MCP or tool surface, CLI, structured docs, machine auth, quotas, determinism, and skill packaging). Railway is sold by Railway, founded 2020, headquartered in United States / remote. Pricing in public materials: Usage-based with credits; Hobby and Pro; Team. Machine capabilities we record: API strong, MCP none, CLI excellent, docs strong, auth Project tokens and CLI login. This page is editorial, not a star rating scraped from users.
