Development service stuck in QUEUED deployment state

Problem: The Development service is stuck in a perpetual QUEUED deployment state with no build or deploy activity occurring. Despite multiple code pushes and configuration changes, deployments never progress beyond QUEUED status.

Service Details:

Service: Development

Service ID: 91434ae3-a213-4056-9247-a72c4f1b2a59

Environment ID: e68b0386-cf78-4e40-a366-217a793df0b6

Project ID: 7fd00754-d64f-4208-a749-6cca77aea1d0

Current Stuck Deployment:

Deployment ID: 8bbf4b48-0d8e-4bf8-a190-0164794124c7

Status: QUEUED (stuck since 2026-07-11 19:33:43 UTC)

Commit: a0fe00d6ede2e748307ef73d82041e3c491ff26a

No build logs, no errors, no active replicas completely frozen

Observed Behavior:

Code pushes trigger the build process (Docker image builds and pushes successfully)

Build completes without errors

Deployment immediately enters QUEUED state

Deployment never transitions to BUILDING, PUBLISHING, or SUCCESS

No logs appear for the QUEUED deployment

Service status shows "Deploying" but no activity occurs

Previous 10+ deployments all marked REMOVED instead of FAILED or SUCCESS

Troubleshooting Attempted:

Fixed service configuration (reference variable mismatch with database credentials)

Disabled auto-deploy to prevent queue buildup

Verified code repository is accessible and builds complete successfully

Confirmed no active running deployments blocking the queue

Confirmed service config has no errors

Impact: The Development service is non-functional. Any code changes cannot be deployed due to the queue deadlock. This appears to be a platform-level issue with the deployment queue system, not a service configuration problem.

Request: Please investigate and manually clear the deployment queue for this service. The queue appears to be in a deadlocked state where deployments are created but never processed.

You were right, this was a deadlock on our side. A deployment from earlier today was replaced in the dashboard but its backing process never actually stopped, and it kept holding your service's deploy queue. Every deploy after it waited on that ghost, which is why they all sat at QUEUED and then showed as REMOVED.

We've cleared the stuck process and redeployed your latest commit, and it went live successfully a few minutes ago. New pushes will deploy normally now. Sorry for the lost afternoon.
