Railway, a popular platform-as-a-service provider, experienced a significant global outage affecting deployments on February 11, 2026. The company reported issues beginning around 3:07 PM UTC, with initial investigations revealing problems impacting a small percentage of running applications. Railway's status page showed the incident affecting less than 3% of active deployments across their infrastructure.

By 4:31 PM UTC, engineers had implemented a fix and began monitoring recovery. The team confirmed successful rollout by 5:00 PM UTC, noting that affected deployments should recover after attempting redeployment. Railway's 99.80% uptime for deployments indicates this represents a notable deviation from their typical reliability standards. The incident follows a pattern of recent issues, including GitHub integration problems on February 9 and deployment failures earlier that week.

While Railway maintains high uptime across most services, this deployment-specific outage highlights the challenges PaaS providers face in maintaining consistent reliability. The company's transparent communication through their status page and rapid response demonstrates their commitment to addressing infrastructure issues. Customers experiencing persistent problems were advised to retry deployments as the fix propagated through the system.
