Builds stalling at "waiting for depot builder" in IAD

Hey there, attempting to fly deploy this morning, and the process keeps stalling at “Waiting for depot builder…” in IDA.

When I first ran it, my auth token had expired, I logged in and all seems well there, but subsequent command executions of fly deploy from my app still yield the same timeout. I see there are issues with DFW capacity which should be winding down, but not sure if this is new in IAD or what - any thoughts or suggestions welcome.

FWIW: I can perform other fly cli commands successfully, e.g. fly status returns what I’d expect, but seems to be hung up with deployment.

True to the Observer effect - it has since deployed after several executions. :grinning_face:

Just to keep this around, I’ve been seeing this as well. It’s been sitting longer and longer at the “waiting for depot builder” step for me when I run fly deploy in IAD over the last week or so, and today it’s been taking 10-15 minutes to get picked up when it does work. Is this a capacity issue?

I’m seeing the same thing, trying to deploy out of Atlanta. Just hangs, same spot…

Keep at it; that’s what I did and it eventually got a response and my deployment went. Good luck!

Got some useful information in this thread: Unable to deploy: Waiting for depot builder...

Moving the builder to IAD worked for me.

Had no idea you could direct the depot builder regionally - that’s a great thread, thanks for sharing!
