This week also brings one-click Postgres major version upgrades, email forwarding for domains purchased through Railway, and Claude Max 20x subscriptions for every Railway Conductor. Let's get into it! 🚄 # One-click Postgres major version upgrades [Upgrade Postgres from the dashboard, with compatibility checks, backups, and a rollback option.](https://cms.railway.com/media/f04be6fe-d0d4-4b34-9abe-c0e22e46bb16-pg_upgrade-social-4k.mp4) Upgrading Postgres to a newer major version used to mean coordinating the migration yourself. Railway now handles it in place, with compatibility checks, backups, and progress tracking in one flow. Navigate to your service's **Database → Config → Major Version Upgrade**, review the compatibility report, and select a target version. Once you confirm, Railway takes a backup, upgrades the database, and redeploys it on the selected version. Another backup follows when it's serving again. The flow supports eligible standalone services and HA clusters using versioned official Railway images. You can upgrade from Postgres 14 through 17 to any newer major version Railway publishes. The database is unavailable during the upgrade, typically for a few minutes depending on data size. For HA clusters, Railway upgrades the primary and rebuilds its replicas. A limited rollback window lets you restore the pre-upgrade backup. Reverting discards writes made after the upgrade. Check out the [Postgres major upgrade documentation](https://docs.railway.com/databases/postgresql-major-upgrade), and tell us how it goes on [Central Station](https://station.railway.com/new?type=feedback). # Email forwarding for Railway domains [Forward mail from your domain to an inbox you already use.](https://cms.railway.com/media/57549fb5-ceb1-4c86-bee8-814cdbeacca9-Email-forwarding-social.mp4) Your side project deserves a `hello@` address, even if the whole company is you. In case you missed it, you can [buy domains directly on Railway](https://railway.com/domains). Email forwarding lets you receive mail at addresses on those domains. Route mail sent to `hello@yourdomain.com` to your existing inbox, without setting up a separate mail service or another mailbox to check. Workspace admins can open a domain from **Workspace → Domains**, find **Email Forwarding**, and click **Add Address**. Enter the address and its destination, then use **Send test email** to check delivery. Railway configures the required DNS records. Forwarding works with Railway-managed DNS when the domain doesn't already use another mail provider. Each address forwards to one destination, and replies come from that destination inbox. Each domain supports one forwarding address on Trial and Free plans, five on Hobby, and 25 on Pro and Enterprise. Check out the [email forwarding documentation](https://docs.railway.com/networking/domains/railway-domains#email-forwarding), try an address for your project, and share your feedback on [Central Station](https://station.railway.com/new?type=feedback). # Claude Max 20x for Conductors If you've asked a question on [Central Station](https://station.railway.com) before, odds are you've interacted with a Railway Conductor. Conductors are community members who put their time and technical knowledge into helping other developers succeed on Railway. They help untangle deployment issues, share what they've learned, and contribute improvements to our open-source projects. Their patience and willingness to work through a problem with you make them an invaluable part of our community. As a thank-you, we're now covering a [Claude](https://claude.com/) Max 20x subscription for every Railway Conductor. We want to give them more tools to investigate tricky issues, explore solutions, and help other developers, alongside building projects of their own. The subscription joins existing benefits: a fully covered Pro plan, including resource costs, plus payouts for community support and open-source contributions. If you enjoy helping other developers get unstuck, we'd love to have you aboard. Check out the [Conductor program](https://docs.railway.com/community/the-conductor-program#conductor-benefits) to learn more and apply. # Fixes and improvements - We shipped a Railway CDN region in São Paulo, Brazil, bringing cached content closer to your users in South America.
