A price you know in advance

Autoscaling included
Set a replica floor and ceiling, and Synteq adds instances under load and removes them when it passes. Each instance runs in its own microVM.

Yes, if your services run all day and you want to know the bill before the month starts. Synteq charges a flat price per instance with bandwidth included, where usage-based billing moves with traffic. If your services sit idle most of the time, or you want databases on the same canvas, Railway may suit you better.
Synteq plans give you more CPU and memory per dollar than most platforms at the same size. See the plan-for-plan table above for current numbers.
Connect the same GitHub repository and branch. Synteq builds with Railpack, the same open-source builder Railway uses, so most projects build without changes, and a Dockerfile is used as written. Copy your environment variables across, then point your domain at the new app.
Usually not. Your app needs to listen on the `PORT` environment variable and keep any state that must survive a restart in a database or object store, which is how it already runs on most platforms.
Apps are for stateless services. Run your database on a VPS with block storage and connect to it from your app.
Use Synteq Functions for scheduled jobs and webhook handlers. They scale to zero and you pay per invocation.
Yes. The Free plan runs a small app at no cost, and you can attach your own domain.
Yes, on every plan, including Free. Point your domain at your app and Synteq issues and renews the certificate for you.
