Welcome to this week’s Changelog. Time to pipe some announcements into your head.

There’s a new CLI in town and it’s coming soon to Railway. 

It’s the same CLI you know and love, just improved in nearly every way possible. 

It’s written in Rust (for buzzword compliance) and is 10x faster than the existing CLI. As a result, developing with the new CLI is better than ever. We’re talking strongly typed gQL responses, semantic auto-complete … okay, you wanna know what it’s like to actually use it, don’t you?

  now remembers what service you’re developing in without re-prompting you all the time in a multi-service project.

 much faster with support for ever larger repos. (Thanks for the feedback, ML engineers!)

 that allow you to pipe your output into json for extensible scripting. 

Finally, we’ve refreshed UI elements in a big way. I hope you like furniture, because we added … tables! *

So you must be wondering when you can use this fantastic 

 for everyone who wants to use the new CLI for testing. 

We plan to cutover to the Rust based CLI next Friday.

No intervention on your part is necessary. 

Testing shows us that the new version will slot into your existing workloads just fine. 

We have big plans for the CLI for the rest of the year, so you should expect much more to come in our effort to make you feel right at home using Railway in the terminal.

Network metrics are now displayed over a window of time rather than cumulatively

 users. Whereas before we displayed cumulative network use, we now display network use over a time window.

If you haven’t signed up for Priority Boarding yet, here’s your chance! We hope you enjoy the increased fidelity.
