the pro plan is limited to 50gb volumes https://docs.railway.app/reference/volumes#limits once on the pro plan you can talk to railway about increasing the size of your volume with custom pricing the 50gb volume is $0.10 per GB https://docs.railway.app/reference/pricing#usage-pricing

is there like an autoscaling feature, like for example cockroachdb gives unlimited resources but then bills for resources i used

you are only billed for what you use, if you only used 5gb of storage, you will only be charged for 5gb of storage. but there will be additional costs besides storage costs, like the 20$ seat cost https://docs.railway.app/reference/pricing#plan-pricing and resource costs like cpu/mem/egress https://docs.railway.app/reference/pricing#usage-pricing

yes, but you are shipping to production, you will need to be on the pro plan the pro plan will allow a database service to have access up to a max of 32 vcpu and 32gb of ram, and a 50gb volume, but of course you are only charged for what you use
