It is the successor to [Nixpacks](https://nixpacks.com) and incorporates many of the learnings from running Nixpacks in production at [Railway](https://railway.com) for several years. ## Documentation Railpack is an early work in progress and constantly evolving. Documentation for both operators and users is available at [railpack.com](https://railpack.com). ## Contributing Railpack is open source and open to contributions. Keep in mind that the project is early and core architectural changes are still being made. See the [CONTRIBUTING.md](CONTRIBUTING.md) file for more information.
