New week, new features pulling into the Railway station🚄

In case you missed it: Object Storage is coming to Railway. We’re shaping the feature now and would love your input. Share your wishlist on 

Now onto this week’s changelog — and it’s a stacked one. We’re making it easier to withdraw money you make from Railway templates and referrals, improving the experience of private networking with IPv4 support, and rolling out Railpack as the default builder for every project.

Earnings & withdrawls with Stripe Connect

Templates on Railway let you package up services into reusable projects, publish them to the 

, and earn money from their usage. Whenever someone deploys your template, you get 

15% commission on every dollar your referrals spend on Railway

Until now, withdrawing those earnings wasn’t very smooth. You could instantly transfer earning as Railway credits, but pulling out cash meant manual approvals and limited payout options like Buy Me a Coffee or GitHub Sponsors. That was fine when the program was small, but as more creators started building and publishing successful templates, it was clear payouts needed to scale.

 You can link your bank account or debit card, stay compliant with local tax rules, and withdraw funds with just one click. It’s fast, reliable, and built to grow with the ecosystem.

IPv4 Private Networks to Priority Boarding 

Private networking has been available on Railway for a while, but until now it’s only supported IPv6. Services deployed in private networks were automatically assigned an IPv6 address, which worked fine in many cases. But some applications, frameworks, or services are IPv4-first — and in some cases, IPv4-only. The result? Network-related errors and extra workarounds.

This changes today. Starting now in Priority Boarding, you can create IPv4 private networks for new environments. This ensures better compatibility with a wide range of tools, frameworks, and services, and fixes issues caused by IPv6-only setups.

If you’re in Priority Boarding, try spinning up a new environment with IPv4 networking. And if you run into any issues, drop us a note in 

One of the magical parts of Railway is pointing to a GitHub repo and watching it build and deploy automatically. That “it just works” experience has been powered by our build system — and earlier this year, we shipped its next evolution: 

Railpack analyzes your codebase, detects the programming language, installs dependencies, configures build and start commands, and produces a container image ready for deployment. It’s the successor to 

, and it brings big improvements: granular versioning, smaller builds, faster caching, and a more consistent developer experience. If you’re curious for a deep dive, check out the 

Since launch, we’ve been gradually rolling out Railpack across projects. As of today, Railpack is the default builder. All new deployments will use it automatically, and your projects will benefit from its speed and reliability without you needing to do anything.

If you run into issues or have feedback, let us know in 

We fixed an issue that prevented choosing a different branch to connect to production when deploying from a template. It’s now possible for you to select any branch you prefer.

We improved the error message for failed payments on unpaid invoices, now showing the reason when provided by our payment processor. This should help you troubleshoot and resolve billing issues faster

We shipped an improvement where adding a TCP proxy no longer requires a redeploy—changes are now applied instantly, making updates faster

We improved the trial plan by increasing the service limit from 5 to 25 at the workspace level, allowing you to experiment with more services before upgrading. This is especially useful when deploying monorepos on Railway

We fixed a bug in resource access checks where deleted projects and services were still being counted, ensuring more accurate access checks

We fixed an issue in the observability dashboard where the usage item displayed an incorrect current usage total, giving you accurate information

We shipped an improvement where deleted projects are now displayed separately from active projects in the navbar’s project switcher, making navigation clearer and more organized
