Reviewer scorecard
“Write IaC in TypeScript with full IDE support, loops, conditionals, and testing. No DSL to learn.”
“Best DX for deployment. `railway up` and you're live. Databases, cron, and private networking just work.”
“Using real programming languages for IaC makes sense. The Terraform-to-Pulumi converter eases migration.”
“The Heroku successor done right. Fair usage-based pricing and none of the cold start nightmares.”
“AI can write TypeScript better than HCL. Pulumi's approach is more natural for the AI-assisted future.”
“Railway is building the best developer experience in cloud hosting. They understand what developers actually want.”
