When you become an engineer in Canada, you take an oath
To never cause harm/suffering/etc to humans as a result of your work
This applies equally, if not more, to business
Both can be used for good (to remove suffering) or evil (to add it)
Do good work. Don't be evil
@SamCRichard We get a lot of folks using Railway for exactly this
Safe space for GTM folks, and you can just peer into your VPN (e.g Tailscale) and infra can manage the ACLs/Access Control!
You probably could guess, Railway's edge network serves a lot of traffic
And it's growing very, VERY quickly. So we had to rebuild it recently, to land 60+ POPS instead of our prior 4
Here's the story of how we built a 100m+ RPS CDN in 30 days
@qusaiii On Pro, not at this time. Would love to in the future, just gotta get better at orchestration/packing
But you can do replicas, and you can do larger vertical scaling on Enterprise
@bendesprets I mean I'm biased but I think it's all really exciting 😂
As for what's in it, I can give you a hint: it's all related to Compute and Reliability!
Ironically, we were having reliability issues with our status page provider
We'd call an incident, things wouldn't update, people would be upset (rightfully so)
Now the system is distributed on Railway, with global caching, running across multiple AZs and clouds
@_notnotjake Believe it or not; we would like to do that!
We’re coming up on the “full closure” of the Railway platform
A system that intelligently lets you build products, collaborate with your team/users, and get information as you ship
Bonus: you can drag and drop files into and out of it :)
It’s ssh, sftp, etc native under the hood
So it works from your browser, your phone, your CLI, your IDE, etc
Anything, Anywhere
We’re launching the Railway embedded console
A portal to a fully versionable filesystem, that you+your agents can evolve over time
All the best parts of a $5 VPS, but on steroids
