# Templates Marketplace, Faster Project Usage Data, Network Proxy Update

We’ve been hard at work creating a new experience for templates. This week we’re excited to share the first of a few upcoming developments. 

## Introducing a New Templates Marketplace

We’ve overhauled templates to make it easier than ever to deploy projects connected to Railway infrastructure with one click.

Here’s what’s new:

- [All new visual design](https://railway.app/templates) for searchable, sortable, and filterable template library
- Improved template categorization and discovery
- New template metadata including number of deploys
- New beautiful OG images to improve social sharing

[Image: Template Marketplace features 1-click deployments that automatically connect to Railway infrastructure]

We’ve also added a dedicated page for each template. The [template page](https://railway.app/template/HRZqTF) describes the services, plugins, and variables used by the template as well as providing some background information and links to relevant resources.

Coming up next is a set of tools for self-publishing templates. As part of this work we’re going to make it easier to submit templates to the community and improve the incentive scheme to publish high-quality, shareable templates. 

## Faster Project Usage Pages

[Last week](https://railway.app/changelog/2023-02-24-metrics-update) we rolled out Metrics v2 to bring much faster metrics to the dashboard.

This week we continued the theme with a new and improved dashboard for introspecting project usage in the Project Settings menu and the [Account Usage](https://railway.app/account/usage) page. 

You should now notice more accurate and speedier loads in the dashboard.

## Network Proxy Revamp

Observant Twitter spectators noticed that we [recently posted](https://twitter.com/Railway/status/1628442874714128384?s=20) an image of a Wild Card from an UNO deck. Railway claims no relation to the intellectual properties of MATTEL INC — but we do claim to be getting close to introducing wildcards. Story time!

Last year, we spent some time transitioning to Envoy from Traefik. Very early users might remember that on our worst day it took multiple minutes for deployments to go live. Envoy brought that down to 10 seconds. That was good, but not good enough. 

When it comes to dynamic routing, millions of deployments changing that table makes it difficult to route requests quickly and on demand. For any domain it takes 10 seconds to update the table … no matter what. This is why wildcards have been a challenge for us, because we needed to know about the domains ahead of time.

We’ve just finished silently deploying new proxies based on Envoy that have near-instant live times for any routes. This enables “The Edge” … or routing requests mid-way through to any endpoint. 

An exercise is left to the reader to predict what this might enable for the roadmap. 😎
