Deploying a Railway cron service does not run the job

Deploy reports SUCCESS with no run in the logs

Verified 2026-08-15 · Confirmed by 0 builders · Trust 50/100

Cause

A cron service builds and then waits for its schedule; railway up and redeploy do not trigger an immediate run.

Test with railway run, which runs the command locally with the service's variables.

railway run node job.js

Affects: Railway cron services, August and September 2026
