I have used it because of the nicer developer experience and it's a little bit more friendly to my clients who find AWS too confusing to navigate; but unfortunately this has destroyed all of my confidence in Railway. Nothing personal, and I'm sympathetic to the engineers who are navigating this situation the best they can. I simply refused to believe something this egregious would happen with Secrets Manager in AWS

Well no- perhaps they hosted on the first paas they found, worked well enough, never had reason to evaluate something else until now.
