Choose Infraveil
When you operate the backend on your servers
Use Infraveil when you already control the servers and want one dashboard for managed releases, service health, operational context, approval rules, and recovery controls.
Sometimes—with a clear owner for each service.
You can keep selected applications on Railway and use Infraveil for separate backend services running on servers you control.
Before combining products, decide which system owns each release and which system is the source of truth for health and recovery. Avoid two control loops trying to manage the same service.
Compare the workflow with your actual backend.
