Summary

We're giving away $1,000,000 in cash to open source developers and maintainers who publish a template in our library and get other developers to start using it. For every $1 someone spends deploying their code on Railway's cloud, the developer receives $0.50 in cash. The program has already paid out $66,500 in cash and secured around $199K in revenue for the company. To participate, developers need to rack up $100 in earned credits before they can withdraw those credits to cash. This is a limited-time offer, with the million dollars set to run out once it's gone. The program benefits both open source maintainers and Railway by providing a way for users to deploy their code quickly and efficiently while also generating revenue for the developers.
