Happy Friday everyone! We just wrapped up our quarterly planning. Employees of Railway were instructed to wear their suit of choice and chanted “Business! Business! Business!”. Just joking. On to the good stuff.

Ideally, building on Railway should feel like you are constructing a bunch of Legos(tm). If deploying your own code was a little bit like ordering each piece that you needed one by one. Then deploying Templates should feel like you are getting a ready-made Death Star delivered on your front door.

Pressing Command + K and typing “Templates” will now allow you to deploy Templates within your Project. A sidebar will pop out if they need environment variables to be configured before deploy. Keep in mind, (for now) only one DB type is allowed per project, we do have a planned fix for that coming soon.

Product Managers should not exist. However, the work that they do is valuable for any company. We realized that the hard way when we haven't touched our public feedback board in three months. So even though we were routing people to 

, people would feel like they were talking to the void.

After completing our quarterly planning, we now have greater conference on work items that will be picked up. We have attempted triage on all bug reports submitted on Canny, and groomed nearly all feature requests. If you got 20 emails from us on that: you have our deepest apologies.

In an effort to spoil future Changelogs, we are requesting additional feedback from you on how you would like to see the following features be expressed on the platform. 

https://feedback.railway.app/feature-requests/p/internal-networking

We are super excited to shape this platform to be better for you and as always, we are always looking for your feedback.
