Explore posts from serversConsidering Migrating from Vercel
Hi i'm currently considering to migrate from Vercel for my apps, but i need some feedbacks and clarifications for some things since i could not (or have not) found the answer.
To start, my apps is a new public SaaS that use NextJS which has over 3-5k daily users, while using Vercel is okay, but i find that Vercel charged for their Edge Request. My app has at least 1 mil request per day, and the included limit is only 10 mil, which i need to pay for extra 30-40 mil request (every 1m additional request charged for $2)
I found out that Railway has different pricing scheme than vercel, and from what i see, i can save a lot from migrating to Railway, and the plus point is Railway is serverful!
But there's a catch for me to consider this migration, my service has been attacked by various attack pattern ranged from DDOS attack, SYN Flood, SQL Injection, Code Exploit, etc for this past 4 months. I have also migrate from various platform before Vercel until i found that Vercel have protection for that, i now mark Vercel as our safe place (until i found out the pricing).
So now i requires platform that at least have protection for DDOS attack, does Railway provide this? And please do not underestimating the DDOS attack, since my infra can be down for at least 30 minutes before i can even recover (yes i also use cloudflare pro and additional ddos protection from the cloud provider at that point, but still...)
So can anyone with the same experience or know the answer to this help me to this question?
1. Do Railway has DDOS Protection? - we are afraid that incoming attack will be charged to our RAM & CPU usage
2. The railway pricing is basically subscription + usage right? i need to pay for the subscription first, then the usage?
3. Is my project on Railway is put into shared instance? since i found out that pro subscription server has 32 GB RAM / 32 vCPU per service, and if so, is the shared instance has protection for DDOS protection, or does any attack to any service on the shared instance will be affecting my service?
4. Do i need to setup my own CDN like cloudflare? Since on vercel, they basically have everything set up, we just need to put our apps and run
5. For anyone who hosts nextjs on Railway, how's your experience using it? What's the pros and cons?
Thank you!
