Hey y'all! 3 years ago we built Nixpacks. However, we ran into some pretty large pains using Nix for dependency resolution

So today we're rolling out Railpack, the successor. It results in:

- Up to 75% smaller images - Up to 5x faster builds - Higher cache hit ratio

The goal is to provide a seamless alternative for the Dockerfile frontend. Railpack will automatically find your dependencies, you can add any additional ones, and it'll auto construct the build pipelines for you
