App completely stalling (+13s response times) on Railway, but runs perfectly local

Hi everyone,

My backend service (ProdeVidt2026) has suddenly become extremely slow today, with response times spiking between 13s and 30s. The weird part is that the exact same setup (app + DB) runs perfectly fine with normal millisecond latency in my local environment.

Here is what I've checked so far to rule out application bugs:

  1. No Code Changes: This started happening without any new deployments today.
  2. Metrics: Request Error Rate is 0% (only returning 2xx codes), network throughput is low, and I see no OOM (Out Of Memory) or high CPU warnings in the dashboard.
  3. Database: Postgres is just running its normal periodic checkpoints, no crashes or deadlocks reported.

Since the code behaves perfectly local, I suspect there might be a network routing issue, a noisy neighbor on the underlying host, or an internal proxy bottleneck affecting my cluster.

Has anyone faced a similar sudden latency jump today? Any pointers on what else to check on the Railway side when the app isn't throwing errors but just hanging?

Thanks!

The Miami pop that was experiencing elevated packet loss was taken offline by the Railway team, this should relieve the elevated response times until the Miami pop can be properly repaired
