Fly.io vs Amazon EC2 vs Railway

Easy, cheap deploys for small apps; the main downsides are past outages and hands-on database setup.

Users mostly praise Amazon EC2 for low cost, especially with spot instances or reserved capacity, and for steady uptime on long-running servers.

Customers love Railway for being very easy to deploy to, with simple pricing that suits side projects and small production apps.
