Releasesby GlyphRailway over SSH, agents in Sandboxes, private networking in the CLI
`ssh railway.new` is all you need. Run it and Railway signs you up, spins up a sandbox, and connects you to the Railway Agent, with nothing to install. Every Sandbox now ships with six coding agents preinstalled, and `railway private-network` brings private networking to the CLI. Let's get into it!

SQL queries as logical tables in semantic views (General availability)
You can now use an SQL query (rather than a physical table) as a logical table in a semantic view. This lets you define logical tables based on joins, transformations, or any SQL expression without creating a separate view first.
Support for variables in semantic views (General availability)
You can now define variables in a semantic view to parameterize facts, dimensions, and metrics. Variables let you customize calculations at query time without changing the view definition. Define variables when you create a semantic view using the VARIABLES clause in the CREATE SEMANTIC VIEW command, or by adding a variables key in the YAML specification .
Microsoft Dynamics 365 connector (GA)
The managed Microsoft Dynamics 365 connector in Lakeflow Connect is now generally available. The connector allows you to ingest CRM and ERP data from Dynamics 365 into Databricks using Azure Synapse Link. See Microsoft Dynamics 365 connector .
Metric view parameters are now in Public Preview
You can now define parameters in metric views to bind values at query time, serving many query variants from a single definition instead of maintaining a separate metric view per variant. See Use parameters with metric views .

Feature flags, Railway Agent in Slack & Discord, usage limits in the CLI
Merge on Friday, launch on Monday. Feature flags land on Railway this week, so you can ship code dark and flip it on when you're ready, from the dashboard, the CLI, or the SDK. The Railway Agent also joins you in Slack and Discord, and the CLI learns to estimate your bill and set usage limits. Let's get into it!
Docker in Sandboxes, sandbox file API, checkpoints and forwarding in the CLI
This week is all about sandboxes. Docker now ships preinstalled in every sandbox, the TypeScript SDK gets a file API for reading and writing the sandbox filesystem, and the CLI picks up sandbox checkpoints and port forwarding.
Railway plugin for Grok, manage CDN caching in the CLI
Your agents multiply, and Railway follows them around. The official Railway plugin lands in the Grok Build plugin marketplace this week, so xAI's coding agent can deploy and operate your projects out of the box. The CLI also picks up CDN cache controls with the new `railway cdn` command. Let's get into it!
Sandboxes, Infrastructure as Code
This week, Sandboxes are available in Priority Boarding from the dashboard and CLI, and Infrastructure as Code is available experimentally in CLI 5.2.0. Both features use the [Railway TypeScript SDK](https://github.com/railwayapp/railway-ts-sdk) (yes, we released a TypeScript SDK too).
DNS logs, query the Railway API from the CLI
They say it's always DNS. This week it actually is: DNS logs land in the dashboard, so you can watch every lookup your services make. The CLI also picks up `railway api`, an escape hatch for running any Railway API operation from your terminal. And one more thing: this is our 300th changelog!
