So the solution is the same as it has been for over a decade. Don’t do business with Google.

The fix isn't don't use GCP. It's never letting one cloud account suspension take down your control plane and customer workloads simultaneously

Google Cloud has blocked our account, making some Railway services unavailable. We have escalated this directly with Google. The Railway Platform team has since confirmed access to Google Cloud and is working on restoring access to all workloads. We have access to some of our Google Cloud–hosted infrastructure and are working to restore the rest of the service. We apologize for the disruption.
Railway had a similar reliability issue two weeks ago when an AI agent deleted a customer's production database via their API — no confirmation step, no environment scoping. Now this. Both incidents suggest the same pattern: infrastructure decisions made without thinking through failure modes, fixed reactively after damage is done.
