1230 minutely GBs for a pet project 😓
I've just deployed my Next.js app with serverless backend (Puppeteer & Socket.io) a couple days ago and the memory chart makes me worry quite a bit.
I've scoured everywhere for answers on Google, but so far I could only ask here

first, a few questions
would you mind telling us what you are using puppeteer for?
just automating some office tasks
i only build it for myself and a few colleagues
it was never meant to be commercial
sounds good, just needed to know if you where doing something like scraping sites
no worries Brody
can you send your package.json scripts object?
sure give me a moment
and you havent overwritten those build and start commands in the service settings?
yes
and i assume your app doesnt use this much memory locally?
the build and start commands were all left empty
how can I measure it on my Mac computer though ?
i'm curious
whatever the mac equivalent to windows talk manager is
alright i'll go measure and come back to you in a short moment
you are messuring your browser
you need to run your next app locally then look at the memory in use for the node process
so puppeteer alone takes up around 50-60 MBs of memory
I don't think the front end will cost much memory
i'll try again tho
152 MBs for node process
152 + 60 is still half of what Railway measures
in this screenshot you have a node process thats using 294mb of memory
is that your next app?
if so, that and chrome equal ~550mb
~294mb for a next app is normal, and then you got chrome on top of that as well, so this is now not seeming too outrageous for what your tech stack is
i think this would add up to 400 something MBs
if we account for brave helpers and whatnot
my question now is how can I temporarily shut down Railway service so I won't incur more cost ?
your next app isnt using brave
it would be using chrome, your memory on railway is normal for your tech stack

thanks
I don’t see the option anywhere though
The Enable app sleeping option that is
as the banner says, it is a priority boarding feature
to join priority boarding you open the railway dashboard, open the command pallet (ctrl / cmd + k), search for
joinI’m not going to be billed for that right
what no lol
if railway billed for little things like that they would not be nearly as successful as they currently are
