And that’s a wrap on an incredible Launch Week! 🎉
Our Engineers put on their chef hats, cooked, seasoned and served tasty features daily for developers around the world.
A feast like this is one to remember, and we’ll be savoring it for months to come.
Now, here’s everything we shipped this week. 🚂✨
Day 01 - Railway Metal Egress & Disk Price Cut
On Monday, we announced Railway Metal is now Generally Available, along with major price cuts:
- Railway v3: Faster and Cheaper from CEO and Founder Jake
Day 02 - Railpack
On Tuesday, we released Railpack, successor to Nixpacks. This means faster deploys for you on Railway. Currently in Beta, you can enable it in the Builder section of your service settings and start building right away!
- Why we’re moving on From Nix from Software Engineer JR
Day 03 - Railway Functions
On Wednesday, we announced Railway Functions. Seriously, this is the fastest way to deploy your code and we’ll be making many improvements in the coming weeks!
- One-Second Deploys? We Didn’t Believe It Either from Software Engineer Jared
Day 04 - Railway for Frontend
On Thursday, we announced Railway for Frontend. Whether you’re leveraging Server-side rendering (SSR) or running static sites, your frontend apps now run faster and scale at a lower cost on Railway.
- Speed Isn’t Just About Code, It’s About Where That Code Runs from DevRel Engineer Prosper
Day 05 - Central Station, $1M for Open Source (And One More Thing)
Finally, today we end with a bang, delivering a trifecta of announcements:
We announced Central Station (home of support, feedback, and roadmap), $1m for Open Source, and *drum roll, wait for it—*SSH (our most requested feature).
- Introducing Central Station from Software Engineer Chandrika
- $1M for Open Source from Community Engineer Brody
- SSH from Product Marketer David
It’s been a big week, and we couldn’t have done it without you. Seriously, thank you!
