## About Hosting Strapi

Railway makes hosting Strapi effortless by bundling it with a PostgreSQL database and all required configurations. With private networking enabled by default, Strapi connects securely to Postgres without incurring extra egress costs. Deployment takes only a few minutes, and your CMS will be ready to integrate with any frontend framework, from React and Next.js to mobile apps. With minimal setup, you can scale both your app and database as your project grows.

## Common Use Cases
