Railway aims to provide a modern mobile experience that goes beyond the read-only limitations of other cloud provider apps.", "body_md": "Railway iOS preview now available via TestFlight\nQ. What’s your favorite mobile app from any cloud provider?\nOk, maybe that’s the wrong question. Let’s try again.\nQ: If every important piece of software in your life is in your pocket, why isn’t your cloud provider?\nThere it is, that’s the question. Let’s get on with the show.\nToday we’re releasing the Railway iOS mobile app in preview to TestFlight.\nWe decided to release a mobile app for a number of reasons, but the one most personal to me is that I don’t think anyone should be obligated to take their laptop to the restaurant this upcoming weekend.\nBeyond that, have you tried the AWS Console app?\nOr the Google Cloud app?\nThey’re useful to see how much money you’re spending, but otherwise they’re pretty much read-only … and even in that mandate they fail to inspire.\nThese apps also invariably fall back to the web browser view. Hasn’t any cloud thought of offering a modern mobile experience?\nThe Railway app isn’t feature-complete or at parity with the Railway web console (yet), but the plan is to build a mobile xp that puts you in complete control of your infra stack, no matter where you are this weekend.\nSound good?\nWithout further ado, we’d like to run you through some of the launch features.\nIf we’d like to create a new project, we can simply ask the Railway Agent for what we need. The agent will be happy to create any number of services from 3,000+ templates on the Railway template marketplace.\nLet’s start by asking for a new TanStack application.\nCreating a new application using TanStack\nGreat! But now that we made a TanStack app, we now need some way to persist data.\nWe’ll use the Railway Agent again to add a PostgreSQL database.\nAdding a PostgreSQL db to the new project\nAfter we select the Postgres template to add to our project, we’ll see the changes are ready to apply.\nStaging changes to our project\nNow we’ll apply those staged changes and kick off a new deploy.\nApplying staged changes\nNow that we have a TanStack application with Postgres deployed, let’s check out some metrics.\nViewing metrics for the deployed services\nWe can also view and filter logs.\nFiltering service level logs on the go\nAnd we can receive notifications at the project and service level …\nViewing and responding to notifications\nIs there anything missing so far? Anything you’d love to see next?\nDrop us a line in Central Station and let us know.", "url": "https://wpnews.pro/news/railway-ios-preview-now-available-via-testflight", "canonical_source": "https://blog.railway.com/p/ios-app-testflight", "published_at": "2026-05-11 00:00:00+00:00", "updated_at": "2026-05-20 10:37:06.427766+00:00", "lang": "en", "topics": ["cloud-computing", "developer-tools", "products", "startups"], "entities": ["Railway", "TestFlight", "AWS Console", "Google Cloud", "Railway Agent"], "alternates": {"html": "https://wpnews.pro/news/railway-ios-preview-now-available-via-testflight", "markdown": "https://wpnews.pro/news/railway-ios-preview-now-available-via-testflight.md", "text": "https://wpnews.pro/news/railway-ios-preview-now-available-via-testflight.txt", "jsonld": "https://wpnews.pro/news/railway-ios-preview-now-available-via-testflight.jsonld"}}
