Since 2026-06-12 ~09:43 UTC, any deployment that mounts volume web-volume-VkNv hangs indefinitely at CREATE_CONTAINER, or fails after ~20s with "Failed to create deployment." Builds succeed. The same service deploys fine without the volume.
I isolated the issue: a fresh alpine service with this volume attached also hangs at CREATE_CONTAINER (tried regions us-west2 and us-west2-cssv9a), while the same
alpine service without the volume deploys in seconds in us-west2. The volume instance reports state READY, 230 MB used. So the volume instance itself appears broken at the storage layer.
This volume contains my production database (irreplaceable business data). Please repair or migrate the volume instance, or help me recover its contents.

Hey, good news: your data is fine and your web service is up with the volume mounted.
I went into the host directly and verified: your current deployment has web-volume-VkNv mounted at /app/data, files intact, service running for the last several hours.
What actually happened: the volume was never broken. The hosts that could mount it were caught in a US West networking issue June 11-12, so every deploy that needed the volume failed at container creation, while your volume-less alpine test scheduled onto healthy hosts and deployed fine. That's why it looked exactly like a dead volume. Good isolation work by the way, that test narrowed it fast.
One cleanup item: there's a volume copy in your project from a recovery attempt ("web-VkNv-2026-06-12 12:57 UTC", unattached, ~230 MB). Totally fine to keep as a backup, but it's billable storage, so delete it if you don't want it.
Sorry for the scare. "Irreplaceable business data" + unmountable volume is about the worst morning there is.
