The bulk of the cost of the project is taken up by memory, but I'd like to learn more about what affects it so much. I would also like to know if it is RAM or regular memory?

Your app's memory usage on Railway is effected by the same things that effect it anywhere else
stuff like:

  • code efficiency and coding methodology ( obviously )
  • Third party libraries, for example: tensorflow.js would use way more memory than something like express.js
  • Libraries you use effect memory too, since each comes with their own memory management system
  • Languages you use, rust for example would use way less memory than javascript since it's just a memory effecient language
  • And obviously what your App does effects its memory too, a simple API for generating random names would use way less memory than a discord bot for moderation

tons' of stuff effects memory usage honestly, pretty hard to list them all
