Some hands on experience with all of these, September 2022:

Render.com - we use this for production at Grilla. Great experience, great platform. I wish I could pay them money to have my builds go faster but everything I want out of the box in places where you would think to look for them first. Fantastic dev ux. Never said, fuck I wish I had this and couldn't find it.

Fly.io - still extremely rough around the edges and militant about things that most companies don't really care about. For example, you create your database, and you see the credentials once and only once. You didn't save them? Tough luck, delete your database and create a new one. Just a lot of sharp corners. Same with ENV vars, you can only set them not see them. Which is ridiculous. Hey my payment processor isn't working, the webhooks aren't coming in, let's debug check the webhook env var, what you can't see it? Ugh.... They are most likely working very hard on the fundamentals of the hosting platform, but they need a lot of work on the dev ux.

Railway.app - Sexy as fuck, will potentially tear me away from Render on my next endeavor. These guys are taking everything that's shitty about hosting apps and making it simple. One thing I did miss was being able to ssh into a running container to run an elixir console into the running process. But for everything else, they are right on the money and gaining quick.

If you felt like saying more about what you liked about railway.app, it's advantages in comparison to heroku and render specifically, I would find it interesting!
