Latent Space: Railway's Jake Cooper on Building the Agent-Native Cloud — 35 People, 3M Users, Bare Metal Data Centers

Latent Space·medium signal

In the May 20 Latent Space episode, Railway founder Jake Cooper discussed why the Git→PR→CI/CD→static-cloud deployment loop needs a rewrite for AI agents, detailing Railway's move to bare metal data centers with a 35-person team serving 3 million users (100K signups/week). The episode was recorded before Railway suffered a major GCP outage on May 19 that exposed how workload discoverability was still tied to GCP despite their multi-AZ mesh architecture.
