It's even more from the last months bill, the estimated is now more than $800.

You can use reference variables to connect your backend to your database instead of using the public URL.

It would look something like this: ${{Postgres.DATABASE_URL}} (If I had a postgres database)

Estimated bills may not be accurate. I would suggest calculating/estimating your costs based on your current usage.

It is accurate this time, they are connecting to their databases via the public network.

I would recommend you connect your database to your application via internal networking to minimize egress costs. (This will only work if you have a backend)

Yes, I do have backend. What should I do to connect using the internal networking? I'm new to railway.

Thank you for your help. It's down to 150. Still very high for a single user application though.

I think it might take a bit for Railway to adjust to the update, but I'm not sure.
