Founder @Railway, the smoothest way to ship software. People, Product, Production. DMs open.

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

[Jake @JustJake]

@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!

[Jake @JustJake]

@davidmytton Let us know! Would love to see some real world benchmarks!

[Jake @JustJake]

@WallisDev Without a doubt

[Jake @JustJake]

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

@anthonystepvoy @Railway File it at https://t.co/vroknBlV4j and others can upvote it (If it’s not already there)

@Codydearkland @Railway Time to Loop to Infinity baby!

[Jake @JustJake]

@StephenPerreira @Railway DM’ing!

[Jake @JustJake]

@mikewazar @Presidentlin I’ve said no to so many bags 😂

We care about the vision, first and foremost. That’s what matters

[Jake @JustJake]

@tsi_org Indeed. Our goal is "Up even if a datacenter gets nuked from orbit"

[Jake @JustJake]

Day2, Meet Gen2

Our second generation of Metal servers. We've spun up sites with 5x+ the capacity, and 2x+ the performance

Faster by default

@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

[Jake @JustJake]

@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!

[Jake @JustJake]

These sites are starting "half full" of servers, with the other half being racked over the next 3 months

[Jake @JustJake]

@designerdada Much more on this the rest of the week!

We won’t rest until we’re rock solid as can be :)

[Jake @JustJake]

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

[Jake @JustJake]

AI has made single player 100x faster

But distribution is blocked on solving multiplayer

Once that workflow hits, it's game over 📈

[Jake @JustJake]

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

[Jake @JustJake]

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

[Railway @Railway]

Railway's built in SSH console 🤝 Hermes Agent by @NousResearch

Video tutorial dropping soon

[Jake @JustJake]

@iKrisnaw Likely not. If you have real production applications, you’ll want to upgrade
