Hey there!

You can improve your Build and Deployment times a few main ways:

1. Reduce your container size. The resulting container from your build needs to be packaged up, uploaded to Railway's registry, and then downloaded on your deploying workload. Any space you can save can decrease the times for each of these processes. You may want to look at your package manager and see what dependencies you can remove, or look at your Dockerfile and see if you can use a smaller, more production-ready base image.

2. Reduce your Resource Limits. If you're using replicas, Railway's orchestrator has to find space for the number of replicas * the Resource Limits you have set on the Settings tab. Lowering these limits to a more realistic size for your workload can decrease the time it takes for the orchestrator to schedule your workload.
