## FAQs About Moving from Railway to Kuberns

### Why do developers look for a Railway alternative?

Most developers start with Railway for quick experiments, but face issues as projects grow. Common reasons include unpredictable credit usage, difficulty estimating monthly costs, limits on long-running services, and challenges running production workloads reliably.

### Is Kuberns suitable for production applications?

Railway works well for prototypes and small apps, but many teams find it limiting for production due to credit caps, usage-based pauses, and lack of predictable scaling behaviour. Production apps often need more stability and cost clarity.

### How does Railway pricing work, and why is it confusing?

Railway uses a credit-based pricing model where usage consumes credits over time. As traffic increases or services run continuously, credits can deplete faster than expected, making monthly costs hard to predict.

### Is Kuberns cheaper than Railway for production workloads?

Yes. Projects that consume credits quickly on Railway often run significantly cheaper on Kuberns due to usage-based pricing and up to 40% lower cloud costs.

### Can I migrate from Railway to Kuberns without changing my code?

Yes. You can connect the same GitHub repository and redeploy on Kuberns without modifying your codebase.

### Does Kuberns support long-running services better than Railway?

Yes. Kuberns is designed for long-running backend services and does not impose time limits or automatic pauses.

### Does Kuberns support background workers and cron jobs well?

Railway has limited support for background jobs depending on credit usage. Kuberns includes workers, cron jobs, and schedulers as built-in features without extra limits.

### What kind of projects are better suited for Kuberns than Railway?

Kuberns is suitable for production APIs, backend services, SaaS apps, worker-based systems, and applications that require predictable uptime and costs.

### Do apps sleep or shut down on Kuberns like they can on Railway?

No. Apps on Kuberns do not sleep or pause. There are no cold starts or unexpected shutdowns due to usage limits.

### Is Kuberns built for teams, not just solo developers?

Yes. Kuberns supports unlimited team members, multiple services, and production workflows, making it suitable for growing teams and companies.
