I have noticed a pattern where sometimes my site works perfectly fine and is reachable but then, out of nowhere, the following error appears
This site can’t be reached
Check if there is a typo in www.mesalista.com.mx.
DNS_PROBE_FINISHED_NXDOMAIN
I have identified that it normally happens after Railway does an automatic deployment https://docs.railway.com/deployments/reference#railway-initiated-deployments which seems to be pretty bad in cloud experience
Important to say that all services appear online and that my heartbeat still logs correctly, is just my site that is NOT reachable?

I just checked the site again and I CAN access it now without any problems, and I didn't change a thing within railway!
This worries me for the reliability of my site.

Hey.
The error DNS_PROBE_FINISHED_NXDOMAIN doesn't mean this is problem for Railway. This happens with the DNS resolution, when your computer asks for the IP to your DNS resolver and the DNS resolvers sends nothing because the domain isn't translating to any IP, leads to this error.
Probably, your ISP DNS resolver might be broke. The next time you encounter this error, try to change your DNS resolver for a another DNS resolver like Cloudflare 1.1.1.1 or Google's DNS 8.8.8.8
