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

We have like, what, 3 million?

Yeah, yeah.

Because we're adding like 100,000 users a week right now, right?

So it's like, it's growing really fast, right?

But we've always wanted to have a really, really lean team.

Like, we didn't want to just like...

add headcount for the sake of headcount, just like throw bodies to these problems.

We want to build like systems, right?

And it's really, really hard to build systems when you're kind of in that expansion phase because you're just adding stuff to the system in general because people are asking for it or things are breaking in general, right?

We basically were like, all right, like, you know, we're going to cut it for now.

Like we're just, we can't support this, like these free users that like we want, like we want to reach as many people as possible because we believe that

you know, software is this really, really important thing where if you can kind of like create something, it's become really difficult to create things in a physical world.

So it's really important to make it really easy for people to build things in a virtual world so that people have access to creation, right?

And so we want to reach as many people as possible.

But there's kind of like legs on that journey.

So we basically had to kind of close off the free kind of users for a little while, rebuild the business, make sure that it worked in general, right?

And then I think you can kind of like see the building of that in general, right?

And then I think you see kind of some...

divots in those charts right like if you actually follow between i think 2025 and 2026 it's either summer or winter that's basically it right like either people go on holidays with their family or they uh go on oh it affects that much yeah yeah yeah well because it's like it's kind of b2c it's kind of b2b in general right and so you have a lot of these users where like they're shipping constantly and then you know they'll kind of like

stop or whatever right and so maybe for summer or like maybe like our our activation curve is like now we see a lot of people like activating in the weekday right uh because we have a lot more like business users in general so that gets a lot less um sheer so to speak right and it kind of like smooths out over time you know yeah is there any point at which you started prioritizing um ai developments or agent development
