Simple Storage Solution (Like AWS S3)

Would love to see a simple storage solution similar to AWS S3 buckets that we can take advantage of configuring from within the railway project dashboard.

I know Volumes exist but due to the price and size limitations it seems like it is not meant to be used for general asset/file storage but instead for important application data that needs to be persisted like Databases and caching.

It's unlikely that Railway will implement it on account of being able to deploy the MinIO template.

I have actually set that up as a test in one of my projects but the downside i see is the limit with the storage size and the cost per GB compared to AWS S3.

Yes, according to the railway docs it is $0.25/GB per month with limits based on plan tiers compared to S3 being $0.02/GB for the first 50TB.

It is not a big deal to setup an S3 bucket outside of railway and interact with it via applications deployed to railway, but just thought I would bring it up in case a user could setup an S3 bucket from within the railway dashboard instead of directly with the AWS console or CLI.
