Very expensive service: how to determine service costs?
I've been spinning a few projects on railway for a while now with no issue. Last night I suddenly ran out of credits and all of my apps were shutoff. This came as a surprise so I started digging in and one of my services is WAY more expensive than the rest despite not having many users or using many system resources.
Can I get some help digging into pricing? I run a way more computationally expensive service on railway but it only costs peanuts compared to a web based remix app using "70,000 minutely GB" whatever that means.

084fa23b-7244-4f76-b461-48d1222c2e5eperhaps you where running the remix app as a development server? those can tend to eat resources like no ones business
hrm, I am using
remix start and node env appears to be production when logged
I have another remix project that also costs nothing to run
I suppose it is possible my project had crazy system resource usage from older than 7 days ago, any way to see that?railway only keeps resource metrics for 7 days
yeah that still probably starts a development server
youll want to build your app with
remix build and start it with something like the remix-serve packagehttps://github.com/cephalization/infinite-mystery/blob/main/apps/web/package.json
I was mistaken, I am using
remix-serve build
https://github.com/cephalization/infinite-mystery/blob/main/apps/web/Dockerfile
I wonder if my docker image is problematic, I did not split it into a build layer and a run layernah dockerfile is fine
remix-serve would have been the only thing running, so thats the only thing that could be of issueThere is the possibility that someone found the website and was going ham on it at the beginning of the month, just seems hard to believe
try moving to the
serve package, its maintained by Vercel, and ive always have had great experience with itI will look into that, thanks
no worries, but beyond that theres not much me or anyone else can help you with, without telemetry it will be very hard to determine your issue
