Hey there! We've found the following might help you get unblocked faster:

• 🧵 My deployment is taking too long creating containers

• 🧵 Deployment is stuck on "Creating Containers"

• 🧵 Postgres deployment stuck on Initializing

• 🧵 Stuck on "Deploy > Creating containers"

If you find the answer from one of these, please let us know by solving the thread!

This is a known issue at the moment: https://station.railway.com/community/the-great-build-speedup-of-2025-5f38c59b

Are you still experiencing issues with Postgres?

Yes, everything related to postgress seems quite unstable. Also deployments are taking unusually long, my service took 15 minutes and when I changed a shared variable it got stucked on "Applying one change"

I just changed a variable of my service and it's stucked in this "will deploy" and apply one change state for the past 1 h.

Thats definitely not ideal and not what we're going for with user experience here!
I will note that we do have a project we're working on soon which will be fixing up a bunch of slow parts from the "push code" -> "get it live" process.

All appears to be well now but if you do see this again try removing the stuck deploy and starting it again. If that doesnt fix, feel free to raise again!

Still unstable. I don't understand why connection strings given by Railway copied and pasted into terminal / env are throwing "failed: FATAL:  password authentication failed for user "postgres""

Well that's a bit odd. Do you have a link to the database having this issue? The current database looks normal.
