railway doesn't provide any native way to do this kind of thing at the moment, would you mind sharing your usecase?

Thanks for fast response.

Some use cases that comes to my mind:

  • Rails app is using WEB_CONCURRENCY env variable, in PR Environment it should be lower due to virtually zero use

  • Using different third party services tokens due to higher pricing

and probably more

Normally I would expect to make changes in Variables for PR Environments

I see in docs that there is possible to override some deploy options with railway.toml configuration file, unfortunately Variables are not covered

Ah good examples, that makes perfect sense.

Currently PR environments are kinda done behind the scenes and don't allow for any user configurations like what you have mentioned.
