Puchify vs Railway
Deploy the web app on Railway. Add a background worker as a separate service. When the project needs object storage for user uploads, Railway doesn't offer it — add a third provider. The architecture grows beyond what a single platform can support.
Provision servers, databases, object storage, file storage, and networking on Puchify. Deploy applications on top using any CI/CD or deployment tool. One platform for all infrastructure, regardless of how the application architecture evolves.

Railway uses usage-based pricing for compute and storage. Puchify uses fixed per-resource pricing. The two models serve different levels of abstraction.
Railway is designed for rapid application deployment with minimal infrastructure configuration. Puchify is designed for teams that need direct control over their infrastructure — servers, networking, storage — and want a platform that grows with their architectural requirements.
