Problem:
The application worker process crashes immediately after being booted by Gunicorn, but no error output is visible in the Railway logs, making it impossible to diagnose the root cause.
Request for Help:
Has anyone encountered a similar issue where a Python/Django application worker crashes silently on Railway without logging any errors? What could cause such an early crash that bypasses standard logging? Are there specific Railway/Nixpacks configurations or low-level issues that might lead to this behavior?
Any guidance on how to get more verbose startup logs or potential causes for this type of crash would be greatly appreciated.
Thank you for your time and help!

I'm sorry if I'm confused but...
This has no indication of having crashed. Why do you believe it has?

I can't access the backend portal. It says, "Application failed to respond."

Alright. That's a different issue.
To get the obvious stuff out of the way. You've got your domain pointing to port 8080, right? Is it a generated domain? A custom one? Are you using a TCP proxy?
