🚄 We are Migrating to Railway!

Hello, everyone!

We're excited to announce that we are migrating Bob away from the Raspberry Pi and onto Railway for hosting. After much consideration we believe this move will bring numerous benefits to both Bob's uptime and the overall user experience. Let’s dive into the reasons behind this decision and the advantages you can expect.

📊 Why the Move?

1. Scalability

One of the significant advantages of Railway is its ability to scale. As Bob continues to gain more users, it's crucial to have a hosting solution that can grow with the demand. Railway provides the flexibility to scale resources up or down based on real-time needs, ensuring that Bob remains responsive and reliable as our community grows.

2. Ease of Deployment

Railway simplifies the deployment process via its integration with GitHub. This means we can implement updates and new features for Bob more quickly and efficiently. Automatic deployments ensure that Bob is always running the latest version with minimal downtime.

✨ What Does This Mean for You?

More Features

With the ease of deployment and better resource management, we’ll be able to roll out new features and updates more frequently. Expect new commands and improvements coming your way!

Minimal Downtime

Thanks to Railway’s infrastructure, we anticipate minimal downtime for Bob! Yes, even when new updates are added! This also means you won't have to worry about internet or power outages affecting Bob's status.

👋 Farewell to the Raspberry Pi

The Raspberry Pi 4 served us well and certainly made Bob feel cozy! In fact, Bob called the Raspberry Pi home not only for the last year but also for two previous versions, which weren't even written in C# but in JavaScript—a long time ago indeed! We, along with Bob, cherish the experiences and milestones we achieved while using it. However, as Bob's community has grown, we've realized the need for a more scalable and robust solution. Railway offers the uptime and continuous integration features we greatly missed with the Raspberry Pi 4. And so, with that, we say fondly, "goodbye Raspberry Pi!"
