Why is railway so expensive?
Railway costs 10$/gb of ram/month and 20$/vcpu/month. This seems a lot higher than just deploying something yourself. Is there any reason other than how easy it is to deploy for which you should use railway?

you dont have to give a damn about anything else
deploy, it work
You pay for their service (ease of use) - thats their business model
The same infra can be purchased/rented way cheaper from aws for an example
But you have to get your hands dirty there
U throw code at it and it figures everything out for you and the ability to have a config as code is cool too
Maintaining stuff is also a pain railway does all that for ya
If u can and want to deploy ur own server it will always be cheaper
If u want to test out a poc or try out like a full set of services to test it's blazingly fast to get up and running
take a look at hop.io's ignite product. its as good as railway if not better to deploy docker containers.
and way cheaper if i remember correctly
woah never seen someone recommend hop before
