nesly vs Railway

Railway is a developer-loved platform for containers and databases with an unusually pleasant dashboard.

Both platforms deploy your code from a push or a command and hand back a live URL. The differences below are the ones that actually decide the choice — and where Railway is simply ahead, this page says so.

Where nesly is different

• Your data lives in Türkiye (İstanbul) and a data processing addendum is part of the terms — for teams whose users, regulators or contracts expect exactly that.
• Pricing is in Turkish lira, with a 30-day trial — no currency risk on a card statement.
• Managed SQL Server next to PostgreSQL — the .NET shop's stack works as-is, with ConnectionStrings__Default injected.
• Built to be operated by AI agents: the CLI is also an MCP server, every command speaks --json with stable exit codes, and `nesly diagnose` names the failure and its fix instead of handing an agent raw logs.
• Every workload runs in a gVisor sandbox behind an allowlist network policy, and every image is scanned on push — documented on the security page together with what we do not claim.
• The whole product is operable from the terminal: deploys, databases, backups, domains, usage, data export, account closure.

What Railway has that we do not, today

• A large template marketplace — many services deployable in one click.
• Usage-based pricing that scales down to very small workloads.
• Multi-region deployments.

We would rather you read this here than discover it after migrating. The security page keeps the same rule about our own claims.

How to decide

Choose Railway for its breadth of one-click services and regions beyond Türkiye.

Choose nesly for data that must live in Türkiye, lira pricing, SQL Server for .NET stacks, and a platform an AI agent can operate end to end over MCP.

Trying it costs two commands: start from a template or follow get started. Plans and allowances: pricing.
