I just want want Railway to be My API Layer

Right now I have a mobile app and have been using Railway as a CRUD layer / backend layer that sits atop a managed 3rd party DB. If hypothetically I grew 10k users and want horizontal scaling how could I do this with Railway? When the pro-plan says 20/seat what is the seat? And how would I scale horizontally and what would be the cheapest way to do that?

change the amount of replicas you set launch in the service settings, that's how you do horizontal scaling with railway a seat is a fancy word for a user

it'll just cost more / month? great! awesome thanks for the info if i hit a certain amount of volume, will pro be cheaper than hobby?

nope, pro will always cost more, but regardless if you need those resources or not, if you have a userbase you need to be on pro since that's no longer a hobby workload
