First off, we hope all our fellow Canadians 🇨🇦 had a good Thanksgiving. Second, welcome to the first Railway changelog. From now on we'll be publishing a weekly changelog, with updates and improvements to Railway. Follow us on Twitter to know exactly when new features and changes drop.
Command Palette Redesign
Our command palette (⌘K) menu has received some improvements.
- Visual update so it is prettier to look at.
- Selected item will always be in view. Previously, if you down-arrowed a few times, the selected item would go off screen.
- More spacing and fewer items visible at once so you don't get overwhelmed with all of the possible commands.
- Navigate with Vim and Emacs bindings. Ctrl+(n/j) for navigating down and Ctrl+(k/p) to navigate up. Keep your muscle memory intact.
Redis Plugin
We've received many requests to add a Redis plugin to Railway. When you ask, we listen. Now adding Redis to your project is as easy ⌘K. We were even impressed with how fast the containers provision.
We are in the process of adding a custom UI that allows you to read/write from the Redis store. It should land later today or early next week.
Preview Deploys
Some users can now deploy their application to Railway's infrastructure with the
railway up command. This is intended to be used as a way to quickly preview your
app and share with other members of your team. Each deploy is given a unique URL
and all the deploys are visible on your project dashboard.
While Railway is itself a beta product, up is a very new feature. As a result, we're slowly releasing this feature to select members while we iron out the deployment cycle. If you need it now, join the Discord and let us know.
