We have a service on Railway that receives http requests that then trigger long-ish (up to 5 minutes) running jobs. Whenever we have a new autodeploy from github, if any jobs are running on the instance, it'll get shut down and their progress gets lost. We have a queue in front of this so the jobs still get run but they're quite expensive so we ideally don't want them to run twice. We were wondering if something like this following is possible:
New Deployment gets created
New requests are routed to this deployment
Railway waits for the other deployment to "gracefully" shutdown for a few minutes

Hello,
This absolutely can be done!
1. Yep
2. This happens by default.
3. Adjust the RAILWAY_DEPLOYMENT_DRAINING_SECONDS variable to however long you need the old deployment to stay running for.

Best,
