## Updates from Railway
### 2026-10-28 17:49 UTC: identified
We have identified the cause of an issue that causes deployments to become stuck in an initializing state. Users attempting to deploy may experience delays with builds and deployments not progressing.
We are actively fixing and will provide updates.

### 2026-10-28 19:17 UTC: resolved
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.

From the builder: does your app depend on Railway? [Sazabi](https://www.sazabi.com/?utm_source=down-guide&utm_medium=markdown&utm_content=railway) detects problems in your own logs without hand-written monitors, and you can ask it in plain language which errors mention Railway.
