Latent Space: The AI Engineer Podcast · Railway: The Agent-Native Cloud — Jake Cooper · 20 May 2026 podcast

So, yeah, but it's like, yeah, we used like the TypeScript stuff a lot because it's like what powers the dashboard.

But we're going to move a lot of the kind of work plus stuff off of the kind of dashboard stack into actually the infrastructure stack.

I don't know if that's still... Yeah, I mean, we built an engine for determining dependencies based on your source code, which is super cool.

It's called Railpack.

We built the first version called Nixpacks, which is on top of Nix.

Like, we were super excited about it in general, but it's like, it has...

bunch of different uh kind of uh pain points in general because if you just think of it it's like it's it's it's a stack of version source code at or it's a stack of version binary at specific slices in time right and so if you want version x and version y you end up bloating a lot of your kind of uh like package like space right which blows up the size of your images and it makes it really really difficult um for like really real world workloads i think if you you know you

In theory, yes, right?

And what happens ultimately is like you have a large enough user base and you have a disparate enough set of machines that you kind of run into the problem that there's a paper that Meta released, XFAAS.

They're like internal kind of like...

serverless system, it ends up being very, very difficult to go in and do that at scale unless you break out specific runtimes, basically, which we did not want to go in and do, right?

Because we wanted to truly allow you to deploy anything, right?

Which was our initial kind of thing with Nix.

But we've moved towards some interesting stuff that I think we'll be able to talk about a little bit later that we've built for

doing context-addressable file systems to be able to lazy load anything from any point and then just page that into memory.

Amazing.

Yeah, it's going to be fun.

The whole future is very, very bright.

It's crazy.

It's going to be nuts.
