MapleDeploy vs Railway
Canadian infrastructure with dedicated resources and flat pricing. Same developer experience, different jurisdiction.
Railway is a solid developer platform. Fast deploys, easy Postgres provisioning, a clean workflow. But Railway is a US company with no Canadian region, and per-resource pricing that can be hard to predict. MapleDeploy gives you the same git push workflow on dedicated Canadian infrastructure, with a flat monthly price.
Key differences
Canadian data sovereignty
Railway is a US company with no Canadian region. Your data is subject to US law, including the CLOUD Act. MapleDeploy runs exclusively on Canadian infrastructure in Toronto.
Dedicated resources
Railway runs containers on shared infrastructure with metered resources. MapleDeploy gives you a dedicated VM with guaranteed RAM, CPU, and storage.
Flat pricing
Railway meters CPU, RAM, and egress separately, so a traffic spike can surprise your bill. MapleDeploy starts at a flat $45 CAD/month with no egress or per-project fees.
