Issue
All deployments are being aborted at the platform level immediately after container creation, before the build ever starts. No build logs exist and the deployment pipeline never advances past CREATE_CONTAINER.
Technical Details
- Timeline: Every deployment since the last successful build (commit
bd4e517, 16:55 UTC) has failed with the same signature — approximately 8 consecutive failed deployments over the past hour+ - Pipeline Stage: Only
CREATE_CONTAINERcompletes; pipeline never advances toSNAPSHOT_CODEorBUILD_IMAGE - Build Logs: Completely empty — no error output, no build stages recorded
- Error Message: Generic "Express deployment failed" with null
failureStage,failureError, andfailedReason; failure stage marked as "manual," indicating a platform-level abort - Build Config: Node 22, Nuxt, npm (identical to last successful deployment; no config drift)
- Config Files: No
railway.toml,railpack.json, orDockerfilein repo — using Railpack defaults - Prior Testing: Redeployed the exact previously-successful source tree (commit
bd4e517) and it also failed identically, ruling out code or config regression
What Was Already Tried
- Recent commits attempted to fix a suspected Nuxt build OOM (4GB Node heap, disabled sourcemaps)
- These changes are chasing a failure that never reaches the build stage — real build OOM would produce
BUILD_IMAGElogs with kill signal; none exist - Redeploy of the last known-good commit also failed identically

had "try railway express" on in the deployment section, after switched off has been all good

Glad you found it! Railway Express uses a different deployment pipeline, which is why the builds were being aborted before they could start. Turning it off and using the standard pipeline is the right fix here.
