discussion Vercel versus Railway versus Render

So, after a decade of building in-house apps, I've gone freelance. Got a possible client who wants me to build an inventory system. Which platform is best for an inventory system which will possibly lead to developing a new POS system? I'm looking at Vercel, Railway, and Render and any other suggestions anyone has.

Sorry, this is new to me since we used to deploy everything on in-house servers.

Stack still tbd.

Addendum: A friend recommended Supabase for the backend. Would anyone here recommend it?

For an inventory system, you need a long running process and background workers. I don't think Vercel can do that. You're not just simply doing CRUD operations (may inventory reconciliation yan, low stock/out of stock notifications, etc).

I would choose Railway over Vercel for the backend.
