Cloud platform deployments run ParadeDB Community, which does not include WAL support. This makes them suitable for hobby, development, and staging environments. For production, we recommend ParadeDB Enterprise deployed via Kubernetes or BYOC.
Railway is a cloud platform for deploying and managing applications. The ParadeDB Railway template provides a one-click deployment that runs ParadeDB Community with persistent storage and a TCP proxy.
