Best way to temporarily shut down our service to our users
Hi there, I am going on holiday and want to show our non-technical team member how to temporarily take offline our Node.js website in case of a serious bug, to make sure users can't access the site. We had a function previously in Heroku called 'Maintenance mode'. Is this possible on Railway? I don't want to have to delete any of our services. Is the best way to remove our custom domain URL?

You can remove the deployment which will take your app offline. Although, we don't have a concept of maintenance mode yet. So the users would know that the app is going to be down for a while only, you can shutdown a database by deleting the service, but you'll need to make a backup.
⚠️ experimental feature
Maintenance mode is not possible on Railway. The closest thing you can do is remove the latest deployment from your user-facing service which will cause your users to be shown a Railway provided “nothing is here” page until you push a new commit to that repo or restart the deployment
you cannot customize that page
