Hey shreejith, Hobby users should be able to migrate non-metal volumes to metal. Can you try enabling the metal volumes feature flag under https://railway.com/account/feature-flags?

Done it , now I see application is very slow

Though both backend servive and DB are now in california metal, the slowness is like it behaves as if both are in different regions

I am getting

Request URL:

https://knorr-bremse-trainingfrontend-prod.up.railway.app/api/tenant/customers/all-sales-list

Request Method:

GET

Status Code:

504 Gateway Timeout

Remote Address:

35.213.168.149:443

Referrer Policy:

strict-origin-when-cross-origin

I am getting 504 gateway timeout for most of the apis

Can you help to quickly resolve this issue

Hey, can you try clicking on the downgrade edge network button that is located under the public networking section?

Here I see option of upgrade to metal edge instead of downgrade

I didnt see downgrade option

Is it that I need to upgrade if its metal region?

In this case, you don't have to do anything. My initial assumption was that it could be related to metal edge, however this has proven to not be it as per your screenshot. As for the latency issue, please make sure to use private networking whenever possible, especially when both services are within the same project, this ensures the lowest latency possible and will save you egress fees.

I am using private networking

when the region is all oregon it works smoothly

when region is all metal california , there is slowness

Can you try redeploying your backend?

ok

Still same 504 gateway timeout

Can you elaborate more on the 504 gateway timeout? How often does this happen? Because I can visit https://knorr-bremse-trainingbackend-production.up.railway.app/ just fine.

This happens very often

Initailly when all were in oregon , no issues

But sometimes railway auto triggred deployment to california metal for backend and then it starts cauing issue for some of the apis

It happens for som eof the apis

It takes time to get response and then gives 504

That time , backend was in California metal and db in oregon and hence gave 504

Now both are in california metal , still there is 504

When both are in oregon , no issue of 504

Interesting, can you migrate both of your services back to non-metal us west oregon?

ok

Now its very fast

NO issue of 504

But issue is railway auto triggers deployment to Metal frequently

Can this be stopped by railway as every time I have to manually again change to oregon

I expect the region dropdown always sticks to oregon unless I change it manually

?

From what I know, there is no option for an user to opt out of it. The behaviors you have experienced today are definitely not intended by any means.

I'll escalate this thread to the team so that they can take a look at it.

Yes please

Hi any update on this later?

Hey Shreejith, there isn't a way around the auto deploy triggers to metal but our pricing has recently been updated to benefit workloads that are on metal if you'd like to take a look.

Metal performance is super important to us so we also ran some benchmarks on our end and haven't found the drop you noticed — it would be super helpful if you could give any examples of apps where this happens reproducibly and we can dig into that.

Please keep an eye on any notifications or updates related to Railway Metal, as we're continuously working on improving this transition. If you'd like more details about Railway Metal and managing deployments, you can check out our Railway Metal documentation and Deployment Regions.

The service which is tagged to this ticket there the issue happens

Hey , I need resolution for this immediately , this is impacting us in $$$ revenue and facing client escalation as many users are facing issue because of this

We dont want railway to change the region without our consent in settings

If its taking time to check the issue, implement a feature that will help users to turn off this railway auto region change to metal

Else check out why this issue happens only in metal region

Hi, could you please try moving all your services to the same metal region? Are you still experience slowness?

Hi Now I am facing issue, as I see ralway has compulsory moved to metal , making my application down with 504 , all are in same metal region

Please reopen the thread and solve the issue urgently.

As mentioned earlier , ensure u keep previous non metal region where I am not facing this issue , or solve this issue which I am facing in metal region

We are in hobby plan , so expect the support quickly
