--- title: "Wildcard Domains, CLI v2 Deprecation, Free-tier Rate Limits" date: 2023-03-24T15:00:00.000+00:00 number: 0126 url: https://railway.com/changelog/2023-03-24-wildcard-domains --- # Wildcard Domains, CLI v2 Deprecation, Free-tier Rate Limits Wildcards are here! Better late than never, right? We [took a minute](https://railway.canny.io/feature-requests/p/wildcard-custom-domain-name) to get it right, but we’re excited to share with you. ## Wildcard Domains [Video: With wildcards you can set your application to run on *.yourdomain.com] Do you have a multi-tenant application? Happen to have a Shopify store that needs to provision spaces for your customers? Or do you have another reason to need an unlimited amount of subdomains? Now you can! We’ve enabled wildcard custom domains for all users. More asterisks are in your future if you so choose. Be sure to [read the docs](https://docs.railway.app/deploy/exposing-your-app#wildcard-domains) on this wonderful new feature! ## CLI v2 Deprecation [Image: The new CLI has lots of handy new features like readable tables] We’re pleased to announce the deprecation of the old CLI. From now on, we will be supporting the [new Rust CLI](https://blog.railway.app/p/rust-cli-rewrite) which is currently in version [v.3.0.17](https://github.com/railwayapp/cli/releases/tag/v3.0.17). In the previous version of the CLI, we used an undocumented API. That API is now being deprecated in favor of the [Public API](https://docs.railway.app/reference/public-api) which is getting closer to general availability. The new Rust CLI not only uses the new Public API, but also offers improved performance and stability as well as additional features that will make your experience with Railway even better. But you knew that already. To continue using our CLI, you will need to upgrade to the latest version. [The team is prioritizing any issue raised in the GitHub](https://github.com/railwayapp/cli/issues), so please raise an issue if you run into any … issues. Ok! ## Free-tier Rate Limits We recently instituted new resource limits for users on the platform. This was necessary because some users were abusing our free resources by spamming builds and overloading our system, effectively causing a denial of service for other users. Unsubscribed Users will be limited to the following on their account: - 5 projects - 5 services - 5 databases Fun fact: Some users would spin up one service an hour to get around the rate limit, then *BAM* traffic. Turns out this fact was not actually fun. If you’re a free tier user, you’ll receive an error on the 6th resource provision of a service/project/database to let you know that you should upgrade to provision more resources. We’ll be adding deployment queues in the future and (long-requested) optional app-sleeping in the future. [Image: New limits on free resources will allow us to allocate more resources toward legitimate users] ## Improvements and Fixes - We’re busy updating from Twin Macro to vanilla Tailwind — so if you see some css out of place, please [drop by Discord](https://discord.com/invite/railway) and let us know! - We have forced the Database to “take a hike man.” The migration made it leaner and faster, you should see a performance increase. - We re-added `railway connect` to the CLI - `railway run` now returns the error code of the command being run - We fixed a number of issues related to `railway up` on Windows. (Yes, people use Windows.) - We improved capabilities for Ruby builds. Shinier gems for everyone! - The Discord community is now only for Verified users of Railway. There are now 14,000 of you and we can’t answer questions that pertain to “Is our refrigerator running?” (Yes, yes it is.) - Added [additional docs](https://docs.railway.app/deploy/networking) on Network Load Balancing with Cloudflare - Added a [blog post](https://blog.railway.app/p/cron-jobs-django-github-actions) on Django cron jobs - [Nixpacks: Fix caching of build phase for a few providers](https://github.com/railwayapp/nixpacks/pull/842) - [Nixpacks ruby provider: Do not compile assets if API only Rails app](https://github.com/railwayapp/nixpacks/pull/839)
