I'm very worried

After I made the change to runtime v2 the speed changed drastically, it only improved when I changed the region to us-west1 Oregon

But now I can't change anymore

Help please

@Brody

you would want to be using the private network to connect to the database to avoid any latency issues

yes, but how do I do it? I have PostgreSQL and redis

use the private network to connect to them

I don't know how to do it

https://docs.railway.com/reference/private-networking

If you're ever unsure of how to do something, reference the docs

I changed to private network but it's still slow

Can't I change my django server to oregon again?

metal is the default for hobby now

it's slow likely because you are not using the private network

I confirmed the change has improved, but it is slower compared to before

are you making a new database connection for every query?

I'm using django, with default settings.

With maximum connection time of 1800

I'm sorry but that doesn't answer the question

I am not opening a new connection on every query, each connection is opened and held up to 600 seconds

if you're connecting to the database via the private network then any slowness you are seeing would be due to inefficient code

so does it mean that metal finally has volumes or not

If I switch to the pro plan, will the amount I pay per month for my project increase, in addition to the change from $5 to $20?

nope

pro plan is not the solution here

It's because before when everyone was in the same region the speed was much higher

the speed is still high as long as you connect via the private network

Is there any change in the monthly cost besides the monthly fee of $5 to $20?

Could the django server's region be affecting its speed? Maybe due to overload or distance?

again, the speed decrease is likely because you are connecting to the database publicly

Can changing databases to runtime v2 help at all?

no it has nothing to do with application performance

My variables in railway are like this: DATABASE_URL="${{Postgres.DATABASE_PRIVATE_URL}}"

RAILWAY="True"

REDIS_URL="${{Redis.REDIS_PRIVATE_URL}}"

I can't believe you're still using the public network

I don't know if you are using DATABASE_URL in code

import dj_database_url

DATABASE_URL = os.getenv("DATABASE_URL")

DATABASES = {
    "default": dj_database_url.config(default=DATABASE_URL, conn_max_age=600),
}

^^

I don't understand why it was fast before if there was no change in the code, just in the region and runtime

going to mark this as solved because the railway side of things is sorted, what's left to do is write more efficient code so your application is no longer slow
