The railroad has received $100 million to expand its AI-ready cloud platform

Railroad, the San Francisco-based full-stack cloud platform that has grown to two million developers without marketing, announced Thursday that it has secured $100 million in Series B funding to grow its subsecond deployment platform as demand for speed and efficiency in software development grows.

The funding round was led by TQ Ventures and included participation from FPV Ventures, Redpoint and Uncommon Ventures. Prior to this round, the company had raised a total of $24 million, including a $20 million Series A from Redpoint in 2022.

Advances in AI coding are forcing developers to rethink deployment strategies as traditional cloud infrastructure struggles to keep up with the speed required by modern workflows, Railroad CEO Jake Cooper said in a statement.

Rail now offers deployment in less than one second, with customers reporting faster development cycles and lower costs.

The company runs millions of deployments every month, serves enterprise customers including Fortune 500 companies, and has grown tens of millions in revenue with just 30 employees.

The new funding will support global infrastructure growth, group expansion and the railway's first organized go-to-market strategy.
