Inquiry About PostgreSQL Database Limits on Hobby Plan
Anonymous

Hello Railway Team,

I hope you are doing well.

I am currently evaluating Railway for hosting my applications and had a few questions regarding the Hobby plan, specifically around PostgreSQL database usage.

I have 10 Node.js applications, and each application requires its own dedicated PostgreSQL database. I would like to understand:

  1. How many PostgreSQL databases are included or allowed under the Hobby plan?

  2. Is it possible to create multiple PostgreSQL databases within the same plan?

  3. Can I connect different applications to different databases under the same project or plan?

  4. Are there any resource or connection limits I should be aware of when using multiple databases?

This information will help me finalize my hosting decision and architecture planning.

Thank you in advance for your support. I look forward to your response.

Unused credits do not get carried over.

And yes, if you exceed $20 worth of usage per month, you will be billed for the extra usage.

In the Hobby plan you are limited to a total of 50 services (could be node.js instances or postgresql databases).
You can connect different applications to different databases no problem there.
You are limited to up to 48 vCPU / 48 GB RAM per service and Up to 6 replicas, at 8 vCPU / 8 GB RAM per replica.

You can check the pricing page for more information.

Based on the plan details, I see the statement: "After credits are used, you'll only be charged for extra resource usage."

I am assuming that if I subscribe to the $20 plan, I will receive $20 in monthly credits, and once those credits are fully utilized, Railway will charge me only for the additional resource usage beyond that limit.

Additionally, could you please confirm whether any remaining unused credits are carried forward to the next month, or if they expire at the end of each billing cycle?
