Why overrides.ioredis in backend/package.json

bullmq depends on ioredis but ships a different version nested under

bullmq/node_modules/ioredis. TypeScript treats nested vs root ioredis

type defs as distinct types — passing a root Redis instance into a

bullmq Queue fails type-check even though runtime works. The override

forces all transitive ioredis references to dedupe to our root pin.

Build succeeds but deployment fails before container startup. Runtime logs are empty and application works locally. Could you check whether image manifest/imageDigest resolution is failing for deployment ID XXXXX?

Hey! Since your build succeeds but it fails instantly before container startup with zero logs, try these quick fix

Check Root Directory settings: Since you mentioned a backend/ folder, go to your Railway Service Settings and double-check that your Root Directory and Watch Paths are explicitly pointed there. Auto-detection sometimes misses this, causing silent crashes.
