We have observed recovery of builds and API back to nominal. Builds are progressing for everyone on the platform.
Update: we are now seeing recovery of all build queues, however, a second order impact of the build queue is API response times increasing. API performance should restore once the queue is cleared. Trial/Hobby/Pro/Enterprise builds are all active and resumed. We'll monitor the situation and will provide further updates as we learn more.
We have identified a load issue within our infrastructure affecting the ability for deployments and builds to progress. We have restored builds to Pro users, and are working to get to full capacity for all customers. We will continue to provide updates as the situation develops.
We are continuing to investigate and are narrowing down the cause of delayed and failing builds. Thank you for your patience.

We are aware of an issue causing deployments to remain in an initializing state longer than expected. Users may experience delays in new deployments progressing. We are actively investigating and will provide updates as we learn more.

All incidentsRailway·Degraded performance
Railway had degraded performance on the Railway platform. Railway reports that the incident is resolved. The incident lasted 8 hours.
Railway·Elevated Build Failure Rate
The elevated build failure rate has been resolved. Builds are processing normally across all regions. We apologize for any inconvenience. If you continue to experience issues, please contact support at https://station.railway.com. Note: This issue is unrelated to the security incident from October 21st, which has been resolved.
Railway·Deployments stuck in initializing
Builds and deployments are back to normal. An issue in the system that processes builds caused delays, so we briefly paused new deployments to clear the backlog. Everything queued has now been processed. If a deployment failed during this time, please trigger a redeploy. Still seeing issues? Reach us at https://station.railway.com. Note: This issue is unrelated to the security incident from October 21st, which has been resolved.
Railway·Builds failing intermittently in US East and EU West
Build latency occurred due to issues with our upstream storage provider, we have been in touch and this is now resolved.
Railway·Builds failing in US West
The issue causing builds to fail in US West has been resolved. Builds are now completing normally. If a build failed during this incident, redeploying it should now succeed. We apologize for any inconvenience. If you continue to experience issues, please contact support at https://station.railway.com.

Your coding agent knows when Railway is down, and tells you when a failure is theirs, not yours. You can also get Railway incidents in a feed reader or in Slack.
Install the outages.live MCP server, so that when something breaks you can tell if the cause is a provider we depend on and not my code. It reads the official status pages of cloud, AI, payment and developer providers and gives you their incidents as MCP tools.
Add it as a remote MCP server named "outages" at https://outages.cc/mcp (Streamable HTTP, no authentication), with your CLI command or your MCP config file.
Then:
1. Make sure it connects and shows the tools get_provider, list_feed and send_feedback.
2. Call get_provider with "railway" and tell me if Railway has a problem right now.
3. From now on, when a call to a third-party service fails or becomes slow, call get_provider for that service before you change my code.Paste this into any coding agent. It adds the server with its own MCP setup.
