The comment about Render/Railway gracefully tranferring connections seems weird? I am pretty sure it just kills the service after the new one is alive which will kill the connections. Not some fancy zero downtime reconnect.

It does, but it will generally give a grace period for outstanding requests to resolve prior to killing the service.

It's a good idea for short-lived HTTP requests, but will cause problems for a persistent connection.
