How to Migrate from AWS Lambda to Railway

What's this blog post about?

AWS Lambda is a powerful tool, but it has limitations that might make developers consider alternatives like Railway. Railway offers simplified deployment, built-in database support, cost-effectiveness, and better local development capabilities compared to AWS Lambda. To migrate from AWS Lambda to Railway, developers need to meet specific requirements such as having an active Railway account, administrative access to the AWS Management Console, and access to their AWS Lambda function code. They also need to identify dependencies, package the function as a container image, deploy the image to Railway, test the deployment, and verify that external connections are working properly. Railway handles scaling automatically, has a clear pricing model, and provides built-in logging features to help diagnose any issues. By following these steps, developers can smoothly transition from AWS Lambda to Railway, focusing on building features rather than managing infrastructure.
