Cloud Agents Beta, Postgres Automatic CVE Patching, Railway Mobile App for Android
A burrito in the U.S. is $20, but Railway still starts at $5. That burrito? The same, made expensive. Railway? Continuously evolving. Adding features. Moisturized. Speaking of moisturized, these new features in this very Changelog help you stay that way. This set of features are focused on how you can work and relax, all at the same time.

DCM Projects (General availability)
DCM Projects are now generally available and are no longer in Preview . DCM Projects enable a declarative approach to managing Snowflake objects as code. You define the desired target state of your databases, tables, tasks, and other Snowflake objects in definition files, and Snowflake determines and applies the necessary changes to reach that state.
Snowflake Native Apps: Cortex Agents and MCP servers (General availability)
Cortex Agents and MCP servers in Snowflake Native Apps are now generally available. Providers can create the following objects in an app’s setup script: Apps can also use inter-app communication so that one app’s agent calls another app’s agent or MCP server.
Tag automations (Beta)
Tag automations are now in Beta . A tag automation assigns or removes governed tags on the Unity Catalog tables or volumes that match conditions you define, so tags stay accurate as your data and metadata change.
Change data feed on materialized views (Beta)
You can now read a change data feed from a materialized view created in a Lakeflow pipeline or in Databricks SQL, using Databricks Runtime 18 LTS or above. Use this to replicate materialized view changes to destinations outside Databricks, or to keep a history of materialized view changes for auditing and reporting.
ai_search function (Beta)
The ai_search() SQL function retrieves information from one or more AI Search indexes configured as knowledge sources. Given a natural-language query, the function generates optimized search queries, retrieves and deduplicates results across sources, reranks them by relevance, and returns the most relevant documents.
AlloyDB can sync BigQuery tables in preview
BigQuery tables can be synced into AlloyDB once or on a periodic schedule, giving operational analytics low-latency transactional access to data lake data.

Let's get into it!
Railway plugin for ChatGPT, dev.new preview, new observability panels
ChatGPT learns to drive a train this week: the official Railway plugin is live, so you can deploy and operate your projects from a chat window. We're also sharing an early preview of [dev.new](http://dev.new), a new way to go from prompt to production on Railway. And the Observability dashboard picks up six new panels, synced cursors, and drag-to-zoom.
Railway for Everyone, Cloud Agents Everywhere, Edge Rules, Redis HA
Good morning, afternoon, and evening, and tomorrow! We aim to please here at the Railway corporation and we hope that this Changelog will make you happier than baseline. A macro note, we hear you on the annoyance about builds. We've been scaling that Infra up with demand, a lot of the new announcements we have here use pure VMs for your workloads.
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!
Railway plugin for Grok Bot, MySQL High Availability, favorite projects
The best infrastructure keeps the important work moving without constantly asking for your attention. This week, the Railway plugin lands in [Grok Bot](https://x.ai/bot), giving bots an authenticated way to deploy, configure, monitor, and troubleshoot Railway infrastructure.
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!
Manage Postgres, edit variables, and connect agents with the Railway CLI
If your first question about a feature is “what’s the CLI command?”, we’ve got a few for you. Manage Postgres HA, restore to a point in time, and set up connection pooling from your terminal. Bulk-edit your variables from the CLI, then review the diff before applying changes.
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!
