Vercel & Netlify Are Great. But What About Deploying Background Workers?

I recently tried Railway for one of my Next.js projects.

I needed a background worker to process GitHub data and jobs continuously.

Vercel and Netlify are great for serverless apps, but they're not designed for long-running worker processes.

Railway makes it simple to run workers, databases, cron jobs, and backend services, while also making environment variables and logs easy to manage.

It feels like having more control over the backend without having to manage the infrastructure yourself.

Definitely a tool I'll be using more.
