Server latency and slow response times

We’ve been experiencing server latency recently. API calls and page responses are taking noticeably longer than before, even under normal traffic.

This issue occurs intermittently throughout the day and is more noticeable during peak hours. No application-level changes were made prior to the issue appearing.

Environment details:

- Platform: Railway

- Service type: Web application (API-based)

- The issue affects both frontend requests and backend API calls

We would like to check:

- Whether there are any server-side performance issues or resource constraints

- If there were recent platform changes, maintenance, or incidents related to latency

- Any recommendations for optimization or configuration adjustments on our side

Please let us know if logs, timestamps, or additional details are needed. We’re happy to provide them.

Thank you.

Thanks for sharing the Production Readiness Checklist.

We’ve reviewed the checklist and verified that there are no obvious configuration, resource, or deployment issues on our side. The service is running continuously (not serverless), and there have been no recent application or configuration changes.

However, we are still experiencing intermittent server latency, including slower API responses and page load times, even under normal traffic conditions.

Could you please help check if there are any platform-side performance issues, resource constraints, or recent changes that might be contributing to this behavior?

We can provide logs, timestamps, or additional details if needed.

Thanks for your help.

Yes i'm also experiencing this, every request has suddenly got a lot slower, to a point where an unauthorized or basic /health check takes 500 ms

I'm on Metal and in Amsterdam just FYI

Somebody from Railway needs to look at this ASAP

It is not, if you are using Cloudflare Proxy, it's routing your requests through Asia, which is super weird, disabling it returns it back to normal latency

The fact that it has been over 12 hours, and you have no ETA while all the requests are being routed through Asia giving crazy latency issues, and you're not flagging it as a P0 incident. Should be a warning to everyone doing anything serious on Railway.

In one on my domains I have now "x-railway-edge: railway/us-east4-eqdc4a" but should be region in Europe.
The domain is in the Cloudflare with proxy. Without proxy I have the problem with SSL also.

Hey there! Are you able to run this?

Would love to see what it shows. From what I know internally, we have since resolved the root issue so I'm confused if you're still encountering this.
