Deployments stuck for 30+ min: GitHub deploys QUEUED and CLI railway up deploys frozen at INITIALIZING

Since roughly 23:00 UTC on Aug 18 (2026), no deployment in my workspace can complete, across multiple projects. Two distinct symptoms:

  1. GitHub-triggered deployments never start.

Every push queues a deployment that sits indefinitely with the banner "Deployment queued due to upstream GitHub issues" — Initialization/Build/Deploy all "Not started". GitHub's status page has been fully green during this window, and the webhooks clearly arrive (the deployments are created), so the block appears to be on Railway's side.

  • Project DB_API (20d229a4-5ed1-4c89-8f91-062aeda8ab31), service 2f72edd0-5f32-4b7a-bade-4cbe6ba5dae6, EU West: deployment 14ad35d9-0850-4353-aebc-05d2a260a809 QUEUED since 23:22 UTC; several earlier attempts from ~23:00 UTC onward were superseded while queued.
  • Project DramWise_React (0e3f3b2c-80f8-4a4b-81a6-920de82bb8c4), service 95887784-d13d-41a6-9264-1b78a17fb2ec: same behavior at 23:04–23:05 UTC.
  1. CLI uploads bypass the queue but freeze at INITIALIZING.

To work around the GitHub queue I deployed both services from the CLI with railway up. Both uploads were accepted but have now been stuck in INITIALIZING for 30+ minutes (normally seconds):

  • DB_API: deployment 31860500-c4ff-406b-9830-ac504242e0c1, created 23:25:30 UTC
  • DramWise_React: deployment bc9af632-a9f2-4e5a-9733-ba5704b9efa2, created 23:28:02 UTC

Additional signal: the dashboard intermittently shows "Networking info temporarily unavailable — Domains and TCP proxy details could not be loaded."

The currently active (older) deployments keep serving fine — this is purely a build/deploy-pipeline blockage. status.railway.com showed all green when I checked.

What I've tried: waiting 30+ min, pushing fresh commits (new deployments queue with the same banner), and CLI railway up (stuck at INITIALIZING as above).

Request: please unstick or fail these deployments and advise whether this is a known incident. Happy to provide anything else needed.

We're sorry for the trouble. There is an active incident, "Deployments are slow to progress," affecting deployments across all regions including EU West, which is causing deployments to remain in an initializing state longer than expected. This lines up with both the queued GitHub deploys and the CLI deploys stuck at INITIALIZING that you're seeing. You can follow updates here: Deployments are slow to progress.

Looks like this happens after every github outage.

We don't have an ETA to share, but the incident page is updated as progress is made and is the best place to watch for resolution.
