How to fix Railway not working
Railway is up on our end, so if it won't work for you, the problem is most likely on your side. Work through these in order:
Check Railway server status before redeploying
Railway is operational now, with 100.00% uptime in the last 24 hours, 18 reports, and a last outage more than 24 hours ago; those figures help answer "is Railway down" and "is Railway down right now".
Read deployment logs and retry the service
If Railway is not working today, open the project logs and check the failed deploy or database connection before you redeploy; a bad environment variable can affect one service while Railway stays available.
Test DNS and your local network
Searches for "Railway down detector", "Railway outage today 2026", "Railway network status", and "is Railway working" can show wider reports, but test another site and switch networks because a DNS cache or blocked route can make Railway appear down only for you.

What happens when Railway goes down
Railway is a cloud platform for deploying and running apps, so steady uptime matters when your services depend on its builds and hosted connections. If you searched is Railway down or is Railway down right now, this page tracks live signals and shows a 100.00% uptime reading for the past 24 hours.
Railway not working today can stop deployments or leave hosted apps unreachable, while a wider Railway outage today 2026 may affect projects across regions. A 18 report count helps show the size of the issue, and local DNS or account problems can look similar to a platform failure.

How we track Railway
The status on this page comes from user-submitted problem reports for Railway, counted in 15-minute windows over the last 24 hours. Each window is compared with the normal level for Railway, so a few complaints on a quiet day don't trigger anything, but a sudden jump well above normal does.
When reports climb well above normal, the status here changes to partial outage or major outage and the chart moves with it. This is separate from Railway's official status page: user reports tend to show a problem early, while the official page confirms the cause. If the two disagree, check both.
