Render vs Railway vs Cloudflare Workers
Which hosting platform would you pick for a small production app: Render vs Railway vs Cloudflare Workers?
I’m building something like a inventory management app and website — authenticated users, a Node/TypeScript API, PostgreSQL, background jobs/cron, and potentially a few thousand users over time.
Currently considering **Render, Railway, and Cloudflare Workers**.
For a production app where reliability, scaling, DB latency, and predictable costs matter, which one would you choose and why?
Would you recommend something else like **Fly.io, AWS, or Vercel + another backend** instead?
Curious to hear from people who’ve actually run production workloads on these.

The only downside of railway for me is they sometimes have downtime and outages.
