My DNS provider is OVHcloud. I need to connect the apex domain deundy.fr to Railway while keeping MX and TXT records at the apex for OVH email.
Railway asks for:
CNAME @ → hfby597t.up.railway.app
OVHcloud does not allow a standard CNAME at the apex when other records such as MX/TXT coexist, but OVHcloud supports HTTPS/SVCB records in Alias Mode (priority 0) pointing the apex to another hostname.
Does Railway officially support using an HTTPS/SVCB Alias Mode record instead of the requested apex CNAME for custom-domain verification, routing and automatic TLS certificate issuance?
If not, what is the officially supported configuration for an OVHcloud apex domain that must retain MX/TXT records?

We support CNAME flattening and dynamic ALIAS/ANAME records for apex domains, and HTTPS/SVCB is not among those. OVHcloud is not listed in our root domain documentation as a provider with confirmed support, so the two paths are: use a subdomain like www (which takes a standard CNAME and coexists with your MX/TXT records), or move the zone's nameservers to a provider that supports CNAME flattening (Cloudflare is the most common choice, and the docs page covers the steps).
