Railway app outage: where to host your projects instead

Since late 2025, the Railway app has faced multiple significant outages, including a major platform-wide incident on May 19, 2026, caused by an automated suspension of their Google Cloud account, which took their entire platform offline for approximately eight hours. The outages highlighted issues with tightly coupled systems that led to cascading failures, raising concerns about the platform's reliability for production workloads. In contrast, Northflank offers an alternative with a multi-cloud deployment model that mitigates the risk of a single provider's failure by supporting simultaneous deployments across various cloud providers, ensuring workloads remain unaffected if one provider experiences issues. Northflank's platform also comes with a 99.99% historical uptime guarantee under enterprise SLAs, providing a potentially more stable and resilient option for those needing consistent access to cloud services.
