Heroku to Railway: Want to switch but scared of freak scenario of rampant costs due to code error
Hi there, I've heard some stories of people racking up huge costs on pay-per-usage services due to erroneous code. I'd like to understand how common this situation is. Is this difficult to do on Railway?
For context, I am a beginner full-stack developer. My application will be quite small-sized with <2k users. Node.js/Express/MongoDB. Provided I follow relatively good code practice, is this hard to do? Any relevant search terms/articles appreciated.
