If I deploy my project on railway to more regions than US East, will I see a change in my railway bill?

As well as the instances count, if I increase that

Hey, yes you'll see a diference as you'll be basically deploying a new instance of your service on that region, that also applies to replicas.

👋 , Is there a way to know how much of a difference I will see?

Totally depends on how many resources your application consumes, but in theory it'll double the bill for your service as you're basically launching a new one.

The only way to make sure is to basically increase it and see how it goes

Can I ask on why you're adding replicas/regions?

I see, idk if you're able to access my account and predict that for me

I'm not a Railway employee and thus I do not have access to your account.

In an effort to speed up the website speed for users far from US East

Ah, rip
Thought the conductor role meant it's for employees of railway

Does your website contain a database or any external service? Remember that your database will still sit at us-east for example and the latency might double on those cases.

If your website is a static one, I would consider using a CDN like Cloudflare where it replicates your site content around the world for free.

Yes the database and the API are on US East

Then that would cause more issues than help.

If your API is in eu-west and your database is in us-east then each query would have the latency of going to your database for getting data/writing data and then reporting back, if you do a lot of queries per request that would have the contrary effect of reducing the latency for those users on eu-west

If you're still confused, there's this great video by Theo explaining it! (edge basically means regions in Railway)
