Hello hello! Welcome to another episode of 

Excited to announce we’ve raised a $20M Series A led by Redpoint ventures! For more information, check out our blogpost 

Thank you to our wonderful investors, community, and vocal supporters! Finally, thank you so much to the team. Without them, there is absolutely no way we’d be where we are. 

Help us bring the magic back to developing software.

Railway approaches open source with an ethos of compensating those who do oft under-appreciated work. This was our motivation behind the 

 program- funding developer public goods. 

We are now pleased to announce that we are now opening up a bounty program for contributions to our open-source repositories. Starting with 

, our new build solution for deploys for the platform.

We have a list of qualifying issues here.

 All issues are tied to a cash value and dispersement will be determined by the Railway team during the Pull Request. It’s your call if you want it in cash or crypto. 

We expect to open up this program to security bugs and if successful, additional Railway open source repos as well. Happy hacking!

We’ve supported to ability to host non-web-server workloads (like bots and workers) for a while now but we’d always assign a domain name, even though it wasn’t necessary. Starting now, 

new services won’t get a domain by default

 and we’ll prompt you to instantly add one if we detect that your service is listening on the 

 variable (you can still add one before we detect it too).

Improved account verification prompts for new users
