A place for developers to talk about building on Farcaster.

/dev

I was all in on Railway, but I've had way too many frustrations with it. Things that SHOULD just work often don't and debugging is hard since you don't have access to the shell console for the server (which originally I thought was a great thing). I've moved as much of my backend code to Cloudflare workers and if I need long-running processes, I'm back on Digital Ocean.

I like the idea of railway but they had some pretty bad downtime last year and I had to do an emergency migration to another provider at 4am one time

Needless to say I’m no longer all in on them either

I'm hoping none of the Pinata engineering team reads my casts because late in 2023 and early 2024 I was pushing for us to move to managed services like Railway to help us ship faster. I think it could have worked, but we would have run into lots of problems. Plus that downtime incident.
