"My Node.js app (project: attractive-spontaneity) deploys and healthcheck passes, but my scheduled cron jobs are not executing reliably. Odds data goes stale, background simulations don't run, and API connections drop without recovery. I've been fighting this for 4+ days. Can you check my deployment logs and environment for infrastructure issues? My app has 15 scheduled background jobs that need to run on a cron schedule — are there any Railway-specific limitations or configs I'm missing?"

Hi, After reviewing the current behavior, I’m starting to believe this may be related to how the scheduled jobs are running within Railway rather than a direct issue with the cron logic itself. Deployments succeed and the healthcheck passes consistently, but the 15 background cron jobs do not execute reliably. As a result, odds data goes stale, simulations stop running, and external API connections drop without proper recovery. I’d like to understand whether there are any infrastructure-level factors affecting process stability, such as: Service restarts (intentional or resource-related) Serverless/app sleeping behavior Replica configuration issues Restart policies Any constraints around long-running background processes If the jobs are running inside the main web service, there may be interruptions in the container lifecycle that are impacting scheduling. Could you please review the deployment logs, container lifecycle behavior, and environment configuration to determine whether there are platform-specific limitations or best practices I should be following for running multiple cron-based background jobs on Railway?
