>"As AI models get better at writing code, more and more people are asking the age-old question: where, and how, do I run my applications?" said Jake Cooper, Railway's 28-year-old founder and chief executive, in an exclusive interview with VentureBeat. "The last generation of cloud primitives were slow and outdated, and now with AI moving everything faster, teams simply can't keep up."

What exactly is an ai native cloud primitive?

You'd have to ask the author or editor or whoever wrote the title, I can't say I get what that phrase means either. Broadly the primitives we're building are all aimed at shortening the distance between generating code and deploying it

How many hours does it take AWS to clear $100M in free cash flow?

That's either the fun or the insane part of the challenge, depending on who you ask, going up against some of the most profitable companies in the history of the world

We're happy to answer any questions btw :)
