You’ll have to test for yourself to see if Railway’s serverless option even works for your game server

I know it scales down to 0 if no traffic is occuring
which can cause some delays

However it might be better for cost

It’s possible that an incoming connection would wake up the service, but also equally as possible that your service will just stay sleeping, depending on the setup

yes, which would be a risk you’d have to be willing to take

it’s absolutely better for cost as RAM and CPU will scale to 0

make a wake up call system ⏰

An incoming request to join/ping the server should theoretically wake it up, but again that’s something you’ll have to test for yourself

just need to have that answered in the sense of cost (I have no worries about delays)
