Incident Report

Summary AI Generated

Railway experienced a infrastructure load issue lasting approximately 3 hours that caused deployments to stall, builds to time out, and new deployments to remain stuck in an initializing state. The issue affected all customer tiers, with builds restored progressively, starting with Pro users before resuming fully across Trial, Hobby, Pro, and Enterprise plans. As build queues cleared, a secondary impact of elevated API response times was observed, with performance expected to normalize once the backlog fully resolved.

Update: we are now seeing recovery of all build queues, however, a second order impact of the build queue is API response times increasing. API performance should restore once the queue is cleared. Trial/Hobby/Pro/Enterprise builds are all active and resumed. We'll monitor the situation and will provide further updates as we learn more.
