# Vercel Integration, Codespaces, and CLI

## Vercel Integration

Railway can now hook into Vercel to provide your production and preview deploys with access to your railway environments.

This means that if you add the Postgres plugin to your Railway project, we'll update Vercel with a `DATABASE_URL` connection string, accessible via envvars.

Just tell us which Railway environment to sync, and we'll do the rest.

This is the first of many integrations to come. We already have a few more
planned, but if you'd like a specific integration, please join the
[Discord](https://discord.gg/xAm2w6g) and let us know.

## Codespaces

Railway is now fully compatible with [Github Codespaces](https://github.com/features/codespaces).

Codespaces allows you to
develop entirely in the cloud. Use Railway to connect to your favorite infrastructure, and deploy straight from codespaces with `railway up`.

Above is our [Railway Images](https://github.com/railwayapp/railway-images) starter, which uses Prisma and Railway to host a simple image grid, using Railway's Postgres as a backend. Live now on [Vercel](https://railway-images-vercel.vercel.app/)

## Improved UI/UX of CLI

The CLI comes new and improved in this update, featuring:

- 🌈 Added colours
- 🚨 Better error messages
- 🌍 Support for `railway login` in SSH or codespaces terminals
