I've been reading comments by people who are hand optimizing for speed (or they object to things like encapsulation because of—often imagined—speed hits). With the obvious exceptions (e.g. real-time gaming), why does speed matter much? Of course, you don't want to be deliberately sloppy (e.g. function calls that return the same value inside of loops), my experience is that maintainabiity is more important than raw speed in most programs. If people aren't complaining about the speed, and if the cost of running cloud instances isn't more than the cost of maintenance, I see little point in optimizing for it.









I need to say one important thing which I forgot. Railway is only charging for what you use. If you use only 0,5GB memory, you get charged only for that. It's counted I belive each minute and you get nice chart showing you what's your usage and expected price you gonna pay. You also get $5 free credit on Railway each month for usage. So that's pretty good. But now, if I would want to match egress bandwidth with Hetzner, damn that would be really huge price difference. Railway is charging $100 for 1TB of bandwidth. Hetzner is charging $1.2 for 1TB of bandwidth (and you get 20TB included in VPS price). If you are doing a lot of stuff on your server and have big egress, that's gonna cost you fortune on Railway longterm. It's gonna cost pennies on Hetzner. So it really depends on what you are doing with your server. Also, some people said "Managed vs barebone VPS" True. But you can make "Railway" from your VPS with @coolifyio basically. Coolify handles almost everything you might need from PaaS. And then it's fair comparison.
