Railway incident
API and dashboard errors during the October 21 security incident (record added Nov 5)
Resolved after 2 hours 30 minutes, affecting Dashboard - railway.com and API - backboard.railway.com, on October 21, 2026.
Variable reads failed for about a quarter of API operations; the dashboard shares the backend. Record added on November 5, 2026 from the incident review that followed the October 21 security incident. This entry corrects the uptime record; no notification was sent for it.
