Run Taxiway on any host: a major cloud, a budget VPS, or hardware in your own rack. Switch providers whenever you like, and your projects come with you.
The parts of a managed platform that actually matter: deploys, observability, storage and domains, all running on hardware you control.
Connect your GitHub project in a couple of clicks. After that, every push is built and deployed automatically, with zero downtime, all on your own hardware.
Deploy a GitHub repository
Your server, your rack, your rules. Taxiway runs on ARM64 and AMD64, and all it needs is Docker installed and ports 80 and 443 open. Your apps and data never leave your machine.

The Taxiway agent collects logs from all your apps automatically, live and searchable. No sidecars, no pipeline to build, no need to become a DevOps engineer.
We record metrics from every app, and the server itself, 24/7, kept for up to 30 days. Set custom alerts on anything. No separate team babysitting Grafana. It works the second you deploy.

Every app gets a free on.taxiway.cloud subdomain, so you can share a working demo instantly. Bring your own domain when you're ready. DNS and one-click SSL are handled for you.

Scale across servers with backups and longer retention.
The honest version. If something's not here, get in touch. I'm happy to talk specifics.
Railway is genuinely great, and Taxiway is built out of love for it. The difference is where your apps run and how you pay. Taxiway runs on servers you own, in the locations you choose, with flat pricing instead of a usage meter.
It was meant to be. But in the age of AI, I decided keeping it source-available didn't make sense for a project I want to support long term. The pricing reflects that. It funds the work, it isn't there for profit.
Coolify needs open inbound SSH access to your servers. Taxiway doesn't. The agent connects outbound only, so you never expose a port. It's built in Go to be lightweight, fast, and to keep the attack surface as close to zero as possible.
Any server you can run Docker on: a $5 VPS, a home server, or bare metal in a rack. Install the agent, connect your repo, and push. Taxiway handles builds, releases, SSL and domains from there.
Point Taxiway at a server you own, connect your repo, and push. That's the whole setup.
