Happy Friday! We hope you’ve been enjoying Railway so far. With the time spent on platform improvements, we are shifting gears to some ambitious features.
Log Filtering and Historical Logs
This week we shipped a huge change to the way we handle deployment logs. We already published the details in How We Rebuilt Log Infrastructure—so we’ll keep this brief—but here’s the gist of it.
- Deploy logs can now be filtered by keyword 🕵️
- Historical deploy logs remain available for inactive deployments 😴
We’re planning to add more goodies to this new logs foundation in the future, so let us know what you think by joining our Discord or submitting a Feature Request.
A More Public Beta
All those Percy improvements had a deeper underlying purpose. You can now slash the time it takes to get the Priority Boarding role with the added /beta Slash Command. Keep in mind, you still need to have your Discord account linked to take advantage of it.
By the way, since we are talking about the beta- Priority Boarding saw the new logs feature first and we have much more in store.
Missing Commands
Have you ever wished our command palette had a command that was missing? Well, now you can let us know! If there is no command found for your query you can press Shift Enter and automagically queue the request to be worked on. (Within reason of course.)
Metro Updates
This week we have continued to update Metro and prepare it for general release.
- The project settings have been given a facelift. Each category of settings has been separated into pages.
- PR deploys now work for services. Each service connected to the repo PR’d into will be deployed and connected to the same ephemeral environment. You can also see the pull request comment on the environments page.
As always, you can quickly get to any of the settings with the command palette
(e.g. Cmd+K “Tokens”)
Improvements and Fixes
