`Railway` outage exposes GCP account-suspension blast radius

A single cloud account suspension took down dashboard, API, compute, databases, control plane, and burst compute. Treat platform convenience as a dependency risk.

[ KEY POINTS ]
  1. The incident started on May 19, 2026 22:20 UTC and lasted about 8 hours. A hosted app needs an external status channel.
  2. Railway immediately returned 503 from both dashboard and API, so deploy and ops paths failed together.
  3. The failed surface included compute, database, control plane, and burst-compute infrastructure. Separate backup and recovery paths matter.
