Your Railway app isn’t really stuck, it’s just not able to connect to the database. This usually happens if the DATABASE_URL is a bit off or your code isn’t picking it up properly. Just copy the URL again from Railway (don’t type it yourself) and make sure you're using process.env in your code. If you're using MongoDB Atlas, make sure all IPs are allowed, and if it's a Railway database, check that it’s actually connected to your service. Also, have a look at the logs — they usually tell you exactly what’s wrong. That “Attempting to connect…” message looks serious, but most of the time it’s just a small setup mistake.

Can you provide the deployment logs?
