I just want want Railway to be My API Layer
Right now I have a mobile app and have been using Railway as a CRUD layer / backend layer that sits atop a managed 3rd party DB.
If hypothetically I grew 10k users and want horizontal scaling how could I do this with Railway? When the pro-plan says 20/seat what is the seat? And how would I scale horizontally and what would be the cheapest way to do that?

N/ASorry for all of the questions -- thanks a bunch!
change the amount of replicas you set launch in the service settings, that's how you do horizontal scaling with railway
a seat is a fancy word for a user
oh got it so if it's just me it's still 1 seat
correct
can i change the # of replicas in my hobby plan?
yes
it'll just cost more / month?
great!
awesome thanks for the info
if i hit a certain amount of volume, will pro be cheaper than hobby?
nope, pro will always cost more, but regardless if you need those resources or not, if you have a userbase you need to be on pro since that's no longer a hobby workload
cool
thanks for the info!
no problem!
