Questions regarding pricing with PostgreSQL-database
I.
I don't quite understand how pricing is supposed to work. On the website, it seems like there are "free 5€", but it also shows some stats for each plan, such as RAM, disk-space and hours of usage. How do these concepts fit together?
II.
1. As the server is written in Rust and doesn't do anything complicated, it should be working efficiently.
2. I also don't expect more than a couple visitors a day.
3. I plan to use a PostgreSQL-database.
The pricing website estimates a cost of
$1.20 / month.
1. Is this an accurate estimation?
2. How does this relate to the "free 5€"? Can I expect to host the website for free?

we can't tell you if it accurate
but
that sounds about right
for more information on the plans, please see https://craft.do/s/PxCI0nC2gKBBRT
tl;dr on free plan you get limited hours your project can run for

1. Since you’re using Rust, the estimate may be too high (you’ll likely use less)
2. You can host it for free, but only for 250 hours (read the above link to understand why)
Thank you for your answers! 🙂
If I understand correctly, the server doesn't pause itself and thus will only stay up for ~5 days.
How is additional time priced?
oh no, 5 days was for the example given, yours is different
the time limit is removed once you upgrade to dev plan
The middle one is the dev-plan?
EDIT: Ah, it says "Dev" on top of "Usage"
So If I stay within the 5$-limit and get the dev-plan.... am I able to host my webserver + PostgreSQL for free?
yes
So with my small server it's basically the same thing as the free one but better? 🤔
Sounds pretty good
yup pretty much
Thank you for explaining this stuff to me, it helped a lot! 🙂
np! be sure to link your discord to railway and react to the message in #🛂｜readme to get access to the rest of the server
