I've made REST api with GO, I've used gogetenv to load the .env file, but it doesn't find it in the Railway environment and the app crashes

You shouldn't have .env files in production, if you want to load environment variables then you can do so in the service's Variables tab. I don't have experience with Go but you'll need to make gogetenv fail gracefully if it doesn't find a .env file

I just had to prevent the panic/fail and fallback to system default to make it work
