Help Implementing Branch Previews for Railway
I am currently working on implementing neon branches via GitHub Actions whenever a new pull request is initiated. I've been inspired by the neon demo project "preview-branches-with-vercel." (https://github.com/neondatabase/preview-branches-with-vercel/tree/main)
However, I've encountered a challenge when trying to implement the preview site in Railway. The Railway CLI doesn't have an option for creating environments. I can't use automatically created PR environments, as the neon branch action creates a fresh database URL that the preview site needs to connect to the database.
I've been trying to find a viable workaround or a way to implement this. However, I'm currently stuck and could use some advice. Does anyone have any suggestions on how I could go about this or if a feature/support is planned to enable such workflows within the Railway ecosystem?
