Hi Railway Support,
My service has been unable to deploy for the past ~24 hours. Every deploy completes the build successfully but gets stuck
indefinitely at the "creating containers" phase.
Service details:
Service has a SQLite volume attached
Old container continues running fine (service is up)
New containers never start
What I've tried:
Multiple redeploys (all stuck at same phase)
Removed TELEGRAMBOTTOKEN to rule out bot conflicts
Added SQLite busyTimeout(30000) to handle lock contention
Checked Railway status page (shows operational)
Build logs: Build completes successfully in ~3-4 minutes, then hangs at "creating containers" with no deploy logs appearing.
Theory: Could this be related to SQLite file locking during zero-downtime deployment? Both old and new containers trying to access
the same volume?Project/Service: brunojccorrea/aware-curiosity
Could you check the internal logs to identify what's blocking container creation?
Thanks!

Bump - still stuck after 5+ hours. Service is running but no deploys can complete. Any visibility on this?

Also running into this as well. Sometimes, builds are very quick and then occasionally build hang forever.

Same here

Same here, normally it would be really quick.

Railway is aware of the issues on logs, and they're working on a fix.
And sorry for the inconvenience, Railway had a surge in users in the past week and they're actively trying to patch any holes that might appear.

If you can open a help thread on https://station.railway.com/ with your service URLs (the ones that appear in your browser), it would help us significantly in debugging the issue! They're working on a incident update as we speak.
