This PR updates competitor facts on four blog posts and the Compute FAQ, where Railway's docs and pricing and Supabase's Compute page changed or were stated loosely.

Changes

  • apps/docs/content/docs/compute/faq.mdx, comparison table, Railway cell of "Managed Postgres on the same bill": the cell now reads "A Postgres template Railway maintains; backups, point-in-time recovery, high availability and PgBouncer pooling are opt-in in its docs, checked 2026-10-19". The link moves from docs.railway.com/guides/postgresql to docs.railway.com/databases/postgresql. It replaces wording that put template upkeep on the user, which Railway retired in railwayapp/docs Small fixes jamboree #1389 (merged 2026-10-07) and More detailed admonitions #1415. The page has no date or update history, so none was added.
  • apps/blog/content/blog/serverless-postgres/index.mdx, two sentences: Railway bills usage per second, not per minute. updatedAt is now 2026-10-19. The post has no update history section, so no history line was added.
  • apps/blog/content/blog/app-hosting-platforms-with-managed-postgres-2026/index.mdx, the Supabase section and the paragraph on one-vendor setups: Supabase still hosts no frontend, and a separate sentence says Supabase Compute, which runs backend services, is a private alpha (us-west-2 only, not for production). updatedAt is now 2026-10-19, with a matching update history line.
  • apps/blog/content/blog/prisma-vs-netlify/index.mdx, the Supabase profile: Supabase Compute, which runs Node, is a private alpha (us-west-2 only, not for production). updatedAt is now 2026-10-19, with a matching update history line. The title, meta title, meta description, excerpt and opening paragraph are not edited.
  • apps/blog/content/blog/from-local-to-production-with-prisma-postgres/index.mdx, the Supabase row of the comparison table, app column: adds that Supabase Compute is a private alpha (us-west-2 only, not for production). updatedAt is now 2026-10-19, with a matching update history line.

Sources checked 2026-10-19

  • Railway pricing, https://railway.com/pricing.md: "Railway charges per-second for the CPU, memory, and disk your services actually use."
  • Railway PostgreSQL docs, https://docs.railway.com/databases/postgresql.md: "This deploys a single node that Railway maintains." and "Railway maintains this template". Backups, point-in-time recovery, high availability and connection pooling are each listed as turned on by the user in the "What Railway manages" table (railwayapp/docs, content/docs/databases.md).
  • Supabase Compute, https://supabase.com/compute: "Compute is in Private Alpha behind a waitlist", "Only projects created in us-west-2 can access Compute during private alpha", and the waitlist terms say it "should not be used to serve production workloads". The page lists Node among the runtimes Compute runs, and describes Compute as sandboxes and "Always-on HTTP APIs and backend services", not frontend hosting.

Checks: blog lint (tsx scripts/lint.ts) and docs lint:links and lint:agent-ready pass.

Summary by CodeRabbit

  • Documentation
    • Clarified that Supabase Compute runs backend services and is a private alpha limited to us-west-2, not intended for production.
    • Updated Railway usage billing information to per-second billing.
    • Clarified that Railway’s Postgres template is maintained and that backups, point-in-time recovery, high availability, and PgBouncer pooling are opt-in.

…Compute status

Railway bills usage per second and maintains its Postgres template, with
backups, point-in-time recovery, high availability and PgBouncer pooling
opt-in. Supabase Compute, which runs Node, is a private alpha in us-west-2
that is not for production. Dates and update history are updated on each
blog post that has them.

- Around line 143-145: Update the “What it does” description to state that the
platform does not host frontends, and describe Supabase Compute separately as a
private-alpha platform for backend services that is not for production. Remove
the unverified “us-west-2 only” claim.

Supabase's Compute page describes Compute as sandboxes and backend
HTTP services, not frontend hosting, so the app-hosting post no longer
says Supabase hosts frontends inside the private alpha. The us-west-2
and not-for-production qualifiers stay; both are on supabase.com/compute.
