`Railway` Outage Resolved After `Google Cloud` Account Block

A provider-level account block took the platform down broadly. Treat hosted PaaS as a dependency with vendor lockout risk, not just runtime uptime.

[ KEY POINTS ]
  1. Users hit no healthy upstream, unconditional drop overload, login failures, and dashboard access failures — control plane and runtime both degraded.
  2. The cause was a Google Cloud account block, so the failure sat below Railway’s own app layer. Status pages alone do not cover this risk.
  3. For revenue apps, keep DB backups, DNS escape routes, and deploy docs outside the platform. Recovery speed depends on prewritten exits.
