How do i get better server performance?

I recently had to migrate a project to digital ocean due to slow performance.
My question is not really project specific. I have put a few "trial projects" on railway and noticed they are not very performant vs when i deploy the identical dockerimage to minimum spec digital ocean for example.

Is there some way I can pay for a better or dedicated host?
The plan says "32 GB RAM / 32 vCPU per service".

I'm not taking a dig at railway here, i genuinly want a solution so i can start use the platform more.

Hey, I noticed this as well today. Just wanted to say Railway is not normally like this. I have had extremely bad performance with it the past several hours, so I think you just hit some unlucky timing. They might be getting DDoSed (happened in the past), overloaded, or similar

I really think it's a one-off situation

but i dont even understand how that happens, cpu shouldn't be oversubscribed. and if someone gets ddos they can use up their CPU shares. and as long as there is enough on the host left for me then im good.

and the way it reads. per pro account gets allocated.
32 GB RAM / 32 vCPU per service

and my thing that was running slow was just a simple graphql api with a database.

what cpu do you get on your do droplet?

is there any way to get more dedicated or performant resources?

technically close wise, you already do

but no, until they move to bare metal they dont have different hardware to run your service on

but i dont think this is a hardware bottleneck tbh
