Summary

Railway is an infrastructure company that provides instant application deployments to developers, focusing on speed and simplicity. The platform has seen tremendous growth, powering production deployments for 200,000+ users, with thousands more joining daily. Railway's success can be attributed to its ability to make infrastructure feel like magic, but now the company faces a BIG problem: scaling its product to meet the growing demand for complexity. To address this, Railway is introducing Railway v2, which will cover three dimensions of capability: service depth, environment breadth, and project height. The next leap forward in the capabilities of the product will include features such as private networking, multi-plugin support, horizontal scaling, persistent storage, regions, and jobs. Railway aims to make it possible for users to deploy any service or application with arbitrary complexity, seamlessly integrated into their existing infrastructure, in a few seconds.
