Cloud platform for running backend containers close to users. Similar to Railway but with a focus on edge deployment — your containers run in datacenters near your users.

Persistent processes: runs Docker containers or VMs, not serverless functions

Multi-region: deploy once, run in multiple PoPs. Closer to edge computing than Railway, but with full server capabilities

Good for: real-time apps, game servers, databases, anything that needs a persistent process close to users

Less opinionated than Vercel, more infra-flexible than Railway
