Yes, considering the importance of the power draw, I wondered if ARM servers were used.
oh yes we want to; I even priced a couple out. Most of the SKUs I found were pretty old, and we couldn't find anything compelling to risk deploying at the scale we wanted. It's on the wishlist, and if the right hardware comes along; we'll rack it up even as a bet. We maintain Nixpacks (https://nixpacks.com/docs/getting-started), so for most of our users we could rebuild most their apps for ARM seamlessly - infact we mostly develop our build systems on ARM (because macbooks). One day.

I _knew_ Railway sounded familiar.
Out of curiosity: is nix used to deploy the servers?
Not ATM. We use it in a lot of our stack, so we will likely pull it in in the future
Got it. Especially interested to see how you set up PXE. Seen a few materials out there but never got around to doing it in my lab.
Looking forward to more blogposts!
