I would stay away from any startup for production workload.

Made the mistake. Never again.

Fly, railway, render. Avoid. All have weird show stopper bugs for any reasonable scale and you will fight against the platform compared to using big cloud.

And big cloud works better even in cases where PAAS is advertised as simpler (google cloud run and build is as easy to setup as railway but you have much more knobs to control traffic, routing, roll out etc)

Jmail is itself an experiment, that doesn't need to be production quality.

While I used to think Railway was an amazing service, I had a production workload get broken because they removed a feature without any depreciation period or warning. I now struggle to recommend it for anything more than a hobby project. Vercel has the benifit of being big enough they have to do things properly.

You were too cheap to pay $20/mth for the Pro plan... That says a lot more about you than Railway.

SMTP is gated behind the $20/mo Pro plan to reduce spam on the internet.

It sounds like you were running a production workload on the Hobby plan

His photo with a prime minister of a country with a famous arrest warrant in The Hague.

You know, the same country whose former prime minister is this person: https://jmail.world/person/ehud-barak
