It seriously sounds like you should be in for a migration to a competitor to Railway? Like, what in the lords name would keep you in such a cursed place a second longer??

i migrated to railway earlier in the year after being on vercel for 3 years. in those 3 years, i don't think i was affected by a single incident. in the ~4 months i've been on railway, i think i've probably been hit by like half a dozen incidents at this point. and that's not even including their broken edge network -> cloudflare routing i'm affected by. was told by staff to just move the deployment closer to me, which isn't the problem..

absolutely would not recommend

  • I think the problem here is that all of these services are optimising for the biggest "change-at-all-cost" that there could be.

    If you have a service that does one thing, and does it good, and provides backwards compatibility, it cannot change every day. But if it doesn't change every day, then it's labelled as "obsolete" by those who go after the latest and greatest. If it just works and doesn't require adapting on every level, then those that are after the resume-driven-development, aren't "learning", and thus, again, those services are "old and obsolete".

    But you can't have both the "change" and the "stability", something has got to give.
