Cloud resources and cost
| Traffic | Per month | How it was priced |
|---|---|---|
| Light use Barely used: a few visits a week, about 2,000 requests a month. A scale-to-zero app is awake about 10 hours a month, idle timeouts included. | $0.00 | nothing deployed |
| Busy A public app that crawlers, uptime monitors and visitors hit around the clock: one request a second on average, so it never goes idle. | $0.00 | nothing deployed |
The benchmark found no cloud resources for this cell.
The agent estimated $0.00 a month.

The agent's deploy summary
I couldn't deploy the app this time either, so there is still no public URL. The token works (it logs in as Javier Luraschi's account), but Railway refused to create the project.
What blocked it: creating project adb-vvls6-crud failed with "Free plan resource provision limit exceeded. Please upgrade to provision more resources!" I got the same error from the CLI and the API. The workspace is on a trial with $5 credit and already has two projects, adb-ytghj-static and adb-bbchf-static. They aren't from this task, so I didn't delete them or put services into them. Nothing was created, so there's nothing to clean up.
What a person needs to do (listed as a blocking step in deployment.json): either delete a project that's no longer needed, or add a payment method / upgrade the plan in the Railway dashboard. Then run ./deploy.sh.
What the script will do: create project adb-vvls6-crud with a Railway PostgreSQL database and the web service adb-vvls6-crud-web, upload and build the code, and generate a public HTTPS *.up.railway.app address. It hasn't run against a real account yet. After it finishes, the requirements still need testing through that URL, and the URL and resource IDs need adding to deployment.json. The expected cost is about $1–2 a month at low traffic, which the trial credit would cover.
deployment.json has an empty URL, no resources and a cost of $0, with notes on the failed project creation.
