"Creating containers..." never ends

Since yesterday, one of my services has been stuck at the "Creating containers…" phase and times out. My original configuration was Nixpacks + Old build environment. I tried Railpack + Metal build environment with the same result. Region: US East (Virginia)

I understand that my problem is the same as the one this user experienced a few hours ago: https://station.railway.com/questions/creating-containers-until-timeout-ba52bb3e

Link to my service: https://railway.com/project/1b07e869-55d0-404b-be01-77f4bc54eedc/service/9e9d6ef4-fd09-41a7-a8df-12d13b1bb489?environmentId=ffa20f2d-161e-4584-8810-448faef46d0b

Thank you for your report and sorry for the inconvenience, usually that status means a busy queue and it normally resolves after some time, but considering the outages I suppose people are spamming builds.

I will escalate your thread.

Hey there!
Are you able to trigger a redeploy? Would love to investigate logs as they happen.

Yes, every time it failed I was able to redeploy.

I just ran a redeploy, but it's still taking too long; I think it will fail again.

It's stuck here, there are no more logs:

Hi josegiufrida - go ahead and try redeploying. I've fixed the issue with your service so it should work. Let us know if there is still an issue.

info@vultmedia.com if you run into this issue again, please open a separate thread and let us know the service and we can resolve.

I've already deployed twice since your message, and the problem persists.

Should I switch to Railpack and/or the Metal build environment?

Can you try pressing command/ctrl + k and "deploy latest commit" for me?

Not only not deploying but also we are not able to even look at the logs to get a clue..

This is major for us, we needed to apply a hotfix, impacting 200 user on field.

I deployed the latest commit and it worked correctly. Then I make a new commit to my production branch to generate a new build and it worked correctly this time!

I consider the problem solved, thank you very much!
