[Discussion] Best developer-experience (DX) PaaS solution?

Railway

- Railway.app did the best job on DX, I can deploy my services to railway.app in minutes without having to do any Google search. But it has longer API response time because at the moment it only support US region if I'm correct.

Fly.io

- fly.io did a better job than Render, but I feel that it's private networking abstraction is still too complicated => it took me 3 hours to research on how to connect to Postgresql connection string, the flycast domain and sslmode=disable are really confusing => thus affect DX. Also, on Google I heard many complaints about fly.io unstable infrastructure. But on the other hand, it has the lowest API response time in my region (APAC). And the free plan is very generous for pet projects.
