"Hi, I am migrating my Next.js SaaS from a VPS. My app processes long-running background API tasks (e.g., verifying 5,000+ emails in a for loop, taking several minutes). Do you have strict serverless timeout limits like Vercel (10-15 seconds), or will my long background loop continue to execute until finished?"
"Will I need to integrate third-party tools like Upstash or Inngest to manage these long background tasks, or does your platform keep the Node server process alive natively?"

Services on Railway run in long-lived Docker containers, not serverless functions, so there is no execution time limit. Your Node.js process stays alive continuously and your background loop will run until it finishes, whether that takes seconds or hours. No need for Upstash, Inngest, or any external job queue just to keep a process running.
