Hi there

i think that railway will terminate your service without an error message(!) if it exceeds the allocated resources like RAM or CPU and seeing that you are on a free plan that sounds very likely to me. The thing is that the spike in usage wont show up in the metrics 😱

consider upgrading to a hobby plan to see how it goes

however your app https://www.bromptonmaps.com/ seems to be running. Cool app btw.

did you figure out what was causing it?

I’ve run into that termination issue myself while testing out a Minecraft server template which happened because of the free tier resource limits.

yep! it was loading the pickle file that defines the transport graph haha, creating a new skeleton app which just incrementally added the logic to get back to my app and found it crashed at that point! Now i do lazy loading so it loads the graph on the first request rather than having it pre loaded which caused the start up crash.

yeah! lazy loading is the way to go 😉
