Need help with setting up a basic Railway C# project | Railway | Page 1

Hello, I am using a web2 multi solution with leaderboards, shop, analystics, etc. and a second API for matchmaking, multiplayer, scoring, etc. There's also a Google Pay webhook involved.
I want to use Railway to create a Game API for myself that acts as intermediary between all these third party things, so my client only talks to my Game API.

I am a seasoned frontend dev but nowhere near knowledgeable in backend and I have no idea how to start. I do know I want C# and I connected Railway to a Github repo but that's about it.
Please help me get started 🙏 thank you!

@willow kelp does this work with lambda functions?

Can you elaborate?

#

I read that you can have methods that do not require a server restart

#

like this https://aws.amazon.com/lambda/

Amazon Web Services, Inc.

Serverless Computing - AWS Lambda - Amazon Web Services

AWS Lambda is a serverless compute service for running code without having to provision or manage servers. You pay only for the compute time you consume.

#

I just need my API to react to webhooks / post calls, I have no server and I don't need to have any data live

#

im not too sure if railway has any severless functions/lambda but i stand to be corrected

#

What is wrong with having a stateless API running all the time? You can leverage Railways service sleep mode to reduce cost if there is no traffic
