We're super excited today to release the alpha for our "Full Environment Preview". Upon enabling "Pull Request Previews" in the the Project Settings page, any PRs made on GitHub will create a fully separate environment with accompanying infrastructure (Postgres, Redis, etc)

This feature is in alpha, which means we're still very much working on it. We plan to allow environment inheritance as of next week, but we're still working on the exact UX here

Cookie banners suck, and tracking is basically useless on the client side due to AdBlockers and a variety of other things

As a result we've removed all of our Google + Heap frontend analytics 🥳

Note: We're still tracking metrics on the server

We've added more locations for containers. Previously we used containers.railway.app but you'll notice now we've added a few more (e.g containers-us-west-1.railway.app.

This is part of our move to allow different regions of servers. We've had requests for EU servers and we're aiming to provide this as soon as possible.

Background: Our aim is for you, as a builder, to never have to worry about your deploy; along with scaling, triggers, etc this includes location

To do this, we're likely to start by deploying your apps + infra in a few locations, and then potentially moving the containers if your traffic patterns heavily favor another environment

Stay tuned! We'll have more on this to come
