Subject: Pre-sales technical & compliance questions — regulated fintech workload

Hello Railway team,

I'm evaluating Railway to host DheCash, a financial services platform (merchant payment gateway, mobile wallet, Visa card issuing, and an agent network) operating in Haiti. Because this is a regulated workload, I need documented answers to the questions below before committing. I've already requested access to the Trust Center documentation.

  1. PCI-DSS
  • Is Railway listed as a PCI-DSS validated service provider (e.g. on the Visa Global Registry of Service Providers)?
  • Can you provide an Attestation of Compliance (AOC) as a service provider?
  • Do you have a PCI shared-responsibility matrix showing which requirements Railway covers and which remain mine?
  1. Data residency and subprocessors
  • In which specific regions is my data stored and replicated?
  • Can I contractually pin all workloads and databases to a single region?
  • Which underlying cloud providers actually host the workloads in that region?
  1. Tenancy and isolation
  • Is the Pro plan shared tenancy? What isolation controls are in place between tenants?
  • From which plan can I get isolated or single-tenant compute, and at what cost?
  • Can you provide documentation supporting a tenancy risk assessment for an auditor?
  1. Availability, backups and disaster recovery
  • What is the contractual uptime SLA on Pro, and what remedies apply if it is missed?
  • What is the backup frequency and retention for managed PostgreSQL?
  • Is point-in-time recovery (PITR) available, and what are the documented RPO and RTO?
  • Can I export backups to external storage that I control?
  1. Personnel access to production
  • Can Railway engineers access my running containers and databases in production?
  • Is there a mode that contractually or technically blocks that access outside of a HIPAA BAA?
  • Are customer-facing audit logs available for any such access?
  1. Real cost estimate

Based on the following steady-state usage, what is my estimated monthly bill?

  • always-on services / containers
  • [Y] GB RAM and [Z] vCPU sustained
  • managed PostgreSQL, approx. [N] GB storage
  • approx. [T] GB monthly egress

Also: what is the egress rate per GB, and can I set a hard spend cap rather than a soft alert?

  1. Support and contracting
  • What is the guaranteed response time on the Pro plan?
  • Is there an escalation channel for production incidents?
  • Is the Enterprise plan annual-commitment only, and what is the entry price point?

If some of these can only be answered under NDA, I'm happy to sign one. I'd also welcome a call once I have written answers to the PCI and data residency points, as those are decisive for us.

Best regards,

Christopher Jerome
