# Incoming Plan Changes, Docker BuildKit Support, NixPacks Docs

Hello everyone! This week we have focused on getting our documentation up to snuff (fun) and working on the business side of the house (not so fun) we have a few announcements for you.

## Incoming Plan Changes

[Late May, our changelog featured proposed changes to our offerings within Railway. ](https://railway.app/changelog/2022-05-27)After a month of discussion with our community, we are pleased to announce that we have finalized our proposal. We expect to have all of these changes in the product by end of July. Here are the big items coming:

**Prepaid Developer Plans**

**Reducing the Developer Plan Credit Grant to $5**

**Execution time limits on the Starter plan**


While we roll out these larger changes, we plan to improve the visibility of your usage and status within the platform. We have added additional notifications within the product, added plan usage emails, and we have incoming UI changes to keep you in the know about your usage and plan limits. To assist with the transition: during the July billing cycle, we will be giving all developer plan subscribers $5 in extra credit this month while we adjust the plans.

We are committed to building a sustainable product alongside our users and we wouldn’t get this far without y’all. An extra thank you to all of our community members who raised feedback while we worked on these plans. [You can read our initial RFC here](https://blog.railway.app/p/free-plan-changes), and [our final announcement with more details here.](https://blog.railway.app/p/updates-on-plans) As with any major change to to Railway, we strive to keep you in the loop and message often on these changes as they go live.

## Docker BuildKit Support

Users can now build their Docker projects with [BuildKit](https://docs.docker.com/develop/develop-images/build_enhancements/) by setting the `DOCKER_BUILDKIT` variable to `1`.

BuildKit should speed up builds in some cases and improve layer caching.

## Nixpacks Docs Site

There now exists a dedicated documentation site for Nixpacks. It is just the beginning and the design/colours/logo will likely change soon. However, it should help users (on and off Railway) get setup with Nixpacks and hopefully answer any questions about how Nixpacks works and what options there are to configure it.

You can view the documentation at [nixpacks.com](https://nixpacks.com/). (Snazzy domain huh?)

The docs are open source and live in the core Nixpacks repo. As always on our open source repos, [contributions are very welcome](https://github.com/railwayapp/nixpacks/tree/main/docs/pages/docs).
