pricing is usage based, its not a fixed cost the only fixed cost is the 5$ fee you can see your estimated bill in the usage account page https://railway.app/account/usage

id say a week min for a good number but maybe you push some new code with an unknown memory leak, your costs would increase railway sents you reasouse usage alerts, but your costs would still go up just a bit if you dont catch it

Okay but i'm little bit confuse with the database for example if i have a table with 14k register and another one with 160 register it's cost a lot in mysql. ?? That table use sensible data for the existing project for example all the Sector and cities in the based country.

well databases are subject to the same cost calculation as services are, cost is not based on tables or amount of sql queries, they are based on cpu and mem usage the same as services are database costs would be included in the estimated cost number

@Brody I have a doubt, after i deploy the API for example if i create a new endpoint and I have like image uploaded in the server because my API use multer so it's gonna delete all or no and it's possible make backup of your data in the server?

you will want to use a storage volume for that as the containers storage is empherial
