My service uses the serverless feature but the cold requests always show the "application failed to respond" message instead of waiting for the deploy.

Not really, it's meant to be used for unimportant services, where you wouldn't care if you get a stray 502.
It's positioned as serverless though, but it doesn't work like serverless. I would totally expect cold boot times but a 502 is pretty sucky to be honest.

Between us, 'serverless' on Railway is just a catchy marketing term; it is not serverless according to the industry-recognized definition.
