--- title: "2024 in Review, Changelog Highlights, Happy New Year" date: 2024-12-27 number: 0218 url: https://railway.com/changelog/2024-12-27-wrapped --- # 2024 in Review, Changelog Highlights, Happy New Year Well 2024 is almost in the rear-view mirror and we couldn’t be more excited to arrive in 2025. 🚂 We have an enormous list of features to roll-out in Q1 (SSH anyone? 🤫) but for now we’re enjoying our two-week winter break. If you’d like to get our attention about a missing feature that’s currently blocking your workflow, we encourage you to create a ticket in [Help Station](https://help.railway.com/feedback) or add an entry to the legendary [Nits thread](https://help.railway.com/feedback/request-tell-us-about-your-nits-on-the-a3c5878e). And we should also mention that if you’re an engineer considering a career change in 2025, we’re working on some enormously difficult distributed systems problems at scale and would love to chat. Please [reach out](https://railway.com/careers#open-positions). Meanwhile we hope you enjoy the last changelog of 2024. Let’s get into it! ## Year in Review Two years ago this time, we had around 175,000 users on the platform. Last year, we were nearing 1M deployments a month. This year, we’re nearing 1M users and have surpassed 3M deployments a month on the platform. *Woosh*. Time flies when you’re having fun. Team Members: 19 → 25 Users: 525,000 → 850,000 MAU: 51,000 → 74,000 Deployments: 7.8M → 24.2M By the way, if you haven’t seen them yet, we released a [new homepage](https://railway.com/) and [new features page](https://railway.com/features) recently so be sure to check them out. We also released our very [first advertising campaign](https://railway.com/changelog/2024-12-06-multi-region-replicas) in New York City and San Francisco. If you’re in either of those cities you should be able to check out the Railway billboards for another couple of days. ## Changelog Highlights - [Drag-n-drop Docker Compose](https://railway.com/changelog/2024-12-20-collapsed-groups#drag-n-drop-docker-compose-support) - [Multi-Region Deployments](https://railway.com/changelog/2024-12-06-multi-region-replicas#multi-region-deployments) - [Realtime Multiplayer Awareness](https://railway.com/changelog/2024-12-06-multi-region-replicas#realtime-multiplayer-awareness) - [Database Backups](https://railway.com/changelog/2024-12-06-multi-region-replicas#database-backups-ui) - [Google OAuth](https://railway.com/changelog/2024-11-22-google-auth#google-login) - [Railway.com](https://railway.com/changelog/2024-11-15-welcome-to-railway-dot-com#welcome-to-railway.com) - [Backup Schedules](https://railway.com/changelog/2024-11-15-welcome-to-railway-dot-com#database-backup-schedules) - [Help Station Inbox](https://railway.com/changelog/2024-11-01-railway-metal-new-region#help-station-inbox-update) - [New Edge Proxy](https://railway.com/changelog/2024-10-04-edge-proxy-migration#edge-proxy-migration) - [Railway Metal](https://railway.com/changelog/2024-09-20-railway-metal-beta#railway-metal-arrives-in-beta) - [New Crons](https://railway.com/changelog/2024-09-20-railway-metal-beta#new-crons) - [Sealed Variables](https://railway.com/changelog/2024-09-13-sealed-variables#sealed-variables-beta) - [HTTP Logs](https://railway.com/changelog/2024-08-23-http-logs#http-logs) - [High Availability Database Templates](https://railway.com/changelog/2024-08-16-faster-deploys#new-high-availability-database-templates) - [SOC 2 Type I](https://railway.com/changelog/2024-07-26-soc2-typeI#soc-2-type-i) - [Resource Limits](https://railway.com/changelog/2024-07-26-soc2-typeI#resource-limits) - [HIPAA BAAs](https://railway.com/changelog/2024-07-12-hipaa-baas#hipaa-baas) - [Magic Ports](https://railway.com/changelog/2024-06-28-magic-ports#introducing-magic-ports) - [Service Groups](https://railway.com/changelog/2024-06-14-nyoooom#service-groups-ga) - [Observability Dashboard](https://railway.com/changelog/2024-06-14-nyoooom#observability-dashboard-ga) - [Cash Template Payouts](https://railway.com/changelog/2024-06-07-cash-template-payouts#cash-template-payouts-are-here) - [Static IPs](https://railway.com/changelog/2024-05-24-builder-v2-beta#static-ips-alpha-to-all-regions) - [New Features Page](https://railway.com/changelog/2024-03-29-features-page#features-page) - [Template Composer](https://railway.com/changelog/2024-03-29-features-page#features-page) - [App Sleeping](https://railway.com/changelog/2024-02-09-app-sleep-ga#app-sleeping-ga) - [Staged Changes](https://railway.com/changelog/2024-01-26-staged-changes-generally-available#staged-changes-ga) - [Environment Syncing](https://railway.com/changelog/2024-01-26-staged-changes-generally-available#environment-syncing) ## Happy New Year From our team to yours, we’re wishing you an absolutely fantastic end of 2024 and beginning of 2025.
