Builds have been humming for the last 12 hours on Pro and Enterprise Due to our stance on broad vs narrow notification, we're also scaling to meet need, and aiming to restore all other tiers over the next few hours into the evening First pass post mortem also later this evening

We've begun the process of ramping builds up We'll continue this into the evening, overnight, and into the morning. Tomorrow we will include a full post mortem We once again want to apologize for any inconvenience

As others have pointed out, "humming" isn't exactly correct Early periods were definitely more stop and start. The last few hours have been more smooth Hobby now opening back up General Updates: status.railway.com Builder Specific: status.railway.com/incident/…

While we believe our definition of impact is quite narrow, we once again aired on the side of notifying quickly and recommending rotation We understand people are, for a lack of a better word, pissed/disappointed/etc Working 24/7 in shifts through this. Appreciate the patience

At this time, we believe to have both mitigated the attack vector and that it affects a small subset of users We are moving extremely quickly and prefer to notify swiftly and broadly as we take these things seriously Our deepest apologies

Psychotically good marketing Ramp remains in a league of its own Aspirational. We need more media/culture/resonance.
if you spent any part of your childhood playing tony hawk’s pro skater or watching viva la bam on mtv, you’ll understand why i can’t stop watching this. one of my favorite nights ever. the best things we make are the ones people feel.

If you can build real life wall hacks You can build real life single frame aimbot Much to think about
you don't even have to be in the same room with the right Wi-Fi setup, someone walking behind brick walls can still leave a measurable trace at the receiver the graph uses real Wallhack1.8k recordings: orange is walking, blue is an empty space, both on the same scale. the 3D scene illustrates the idea if your next thought is “i'll just sit still,” watch the quoted post😁

Gun to my head, if I had to give you a list of “Software I’d vibecode to replace” It would be this whole left side

The beautiful thing about agents is it makes it clear as day who actually knows their stuff Speed without accuracy and then you’re left hanging Many such cases

We’re rapidly approaching “There’s no reason to use anything else” because there are no tradeoffs
I benchmarked 5 object storage providers from 6 locations around the world I included: - @awscloud S3 - @Cloudflare R2 - @Railway Buckets - @Backblaze B2 - @neondatabase Storage It used Files SDK to make it as fair as possible Here's a summary 👇 (this is also a thread)

Most people fail this because they’re very, very bad at saying no The hardest part about saying no is saying it to yourself
