Storage question
I'm unsure if this is the correct place, but I had a question.
When I see the usage dashboard, it says there is 100GB Shared Disk storage, if I upgrade to Pro plan would this number increase?

nope
Alright thank you, so it just scales with usage then when you go above?
As the docs says
its a soft limit yes, meaning you going above the shared disk limit means the sales guy will likely be in your inbox, but are you sure you arent interested in volumes? https://docs.railway.app/reference/volumes
Oh perfect!
Was just doing some research as I'm considering moving some infrastructure I have on a VPS over
as I want to possibly deploy it in a different region than its current location
sounds good, if what you are storing is temporary in nature, then the shared disk is what you would use, if what you are storing requires persistence, you would need to use a volume (50gb per service for pro)
Alright sounds good
Well it will be a storage bucket for images that varies in sizes and a database on the side also
but the database is not a must to be in the same region anyways
since its mostly for storing reference things
i would use cloudflare r2 for this, removes the pricing of bandwidth in Railway
i could be wrong, but isnt there a balance depending on how much you store, egress vs. volume costs
the images has a variance in size(mb) and its not a lot we are talking about
but yes the egress pricing could be a problem long term, though there is a redis cache that sits in between
wait, for the database or the images?
database can sit externally outside of Railway
the images are gonna be sitting in a storage bucket of sorts that Directus uses internally
ah ok didn't read that
