| - **Deployment Region**: If you haven't configured any Replicas, your services will be deployed to the [preferred region](https://railway.com/workspace) configured in your workspace. To change an individual service's region, go to Settings > Deploy > Regions. | ||
| - **Scheduled Executions**: If your deployment isn't a long-running service, like most web or backend services are, your deployment will be run once then exit. If the service is intended to be a repeated task, you can create a cron schedule under Settings > Deploy that will re-run your deployment according to the schedule. | ||
| - [**Serverless Deployments**](https://docs.railway.com/reference/app-sleeping): By default, services are long-running and will continue to run unless they error. You can configure your services to pause if no traffic is going to them, and start it back up once a request comes in. Sleeping services don't incur resource usage. While your service is starting back up, the requests will be queued and delivered to the service once its fully up and running. | ||
| - [**Healthchecks**](https://docs.railway.com/reference/healthchecks): By default, as soon as your deployment is launched, it's considered "healthy". You can configure an endpoint path under Deploy > Healthcheck Path that Railway will fetch once it deploys your service to ensure that your service actually started up before it removes the previous deployment. |

Adding health checks prevents us from routing to a deployment that isn't ready to handle traffic, achieving zero downtime.
| If you have a [custom domain](https://docs.railway.com/guides/public-networking#custom-domains) that you've bought from a domain registrar, you can connect this to your Railway service to serve your application under. Railway will walk you through the configuration of the required DNS records, alert you if the configuration is wrong, and automatically provision SSL certificates for you so you can serve your application with `https://`. | ||

I think it would be great if we could also mention the new railway dev command.
