I think that this needs to be explicitly outlined in the bullet points we have for the deployment lesson on both the Rails and Node.js courses.

If it matters, it might also be wise the place Railway as the last option, since it's not really a free plan anymore. It seems that they plan on bringing something back in the future, but the curriculum should let learners know what the situation is right now.

I prefer that someone else takes it as their first issue, but if no one gets it, I can take care of it after some time passes.

Might want to put the 'good first issue' tag so people can know it's an easy one.

This issue is stale because it has had no activity for the last 30 days.

I just got a notification for this Issue.

Let me know if you need me to knock it out real quick, I'm not sure if it's still being worked on.

@Eduardo06sp I think we need to open this back up or handle internally. Unless there is something I don't know about progress?

[Eduardo06sp]

@CouchofTomato I assume that @JonusBurger may have forgotten about it or was simply unable to get to it.

I see no indication here that they are still working on it.

I am willing to help if/whenever you need me to.

[CouchofTomato]

@Eduardo06sp Yeah go for it mate :)

[Eduardo06sp]

@CouchofTomato I went ahead and submitted a PR.

I believe that maintainers already have a system for addressing those, so please do not feel pressured to review it.

I just wanted to keep you updated. :}
