Django app stuck on "Running release task (pending)"

Django
1

Hi,

I have a Django app and a Postgres database running on Fly. Everytime I try to do flyctl deploy it hangs on the “Running release task (pending)…” stage. I have run the deploy command without specifying the release_command in fly.toml and it seems to have deployed fine. My release command is just the Django migrations: python manage.py migrate and looking at the logs I can’t find anything that stands out, in fact it looks as if the migration was successful (there were no migrations to run anyway).

My logs:

I’m facing the same issue for my django app, deploy duration got from 3 min to 30+ min (!) for the lasts deploy runs, and without any migration to apply

Same for my Rails app today. Hangs at this stage indefinitely.

Seems to have been fixed: https://status.flyio.net

Just ran the deploy and it all worked, maybe you guys can try too?
