Unusually Slow Deploys + Internal Network Communication Failures

Question

Hi team,

We’re currently experiencing some abnormal behavior in our Railway infrastructure and wanted to report it.

1. **Very slow deploys:**
   One of our frontend servers took more than **30 minutes to build**, which is highly unusual for us. Our builds are typically much faster and we haven’t made significant changes that would justify such a delay.

2. **Internal network instability:**
   After the build, we started seeing intermittent failures in the Railway internal network.
   We have:

* A frontend being accessed via reverse proxy from another frontend
* Communication happening strictly over Railway’s internal network

This setup has been stable, but now requests occasionally fail between services.

3. **Backend database connectivity issues:**
   One of our backend microservices (which connects to a MongoDB instance over Railway internal networking) started throwing database connection errors.

When attempting to redeploy the MongoDB service:

* It has been stuck in **“Deploying” for more than 15 minutes**
* Normally, this MongoDB service boots in ~5 seconds

This behavior is clearly outside our normal baseline.

Could you please check if there are:

* Ongoing infrastructure issues
* Internal networking degradation
* Regional cluster instability
* Or any incidents affecting deploy/build queues?

Thanks in advance.
