Railway is an AI-native cloud infrastructure platform with built-in MCP server support, enabling AI coding agents to deploy applications and manage infrastructure directly from code editors. It’s aimed at developers and teams across SMB, mid-market, and enterprise segments who want cloud deployment tooling designed from the ground up for agentic workflows, rather than infrastructure retrofitted with AI features. Its explicit positioning is to challenge established cloud providers like AWS with what it calls “agentic-first primitives.” Railway raised $100M to pursue this strategy.
