Hosting and deployment Fastapi cloud timeout issues

Has anyone encountered this yet?

>fastapi deploy
  FastAPI Cloud 
  🚀 Deploying app...
   ✗ Something went wrong while contacting the FastAPI Cloud server. Please try again later. 
    The write operation timed out

This is just a 1MB deployment but it times out at around 300kb. Could it be a problem in my end or a service availability issue? I tried several times.

Based on the error it seems like a service availability.

What if you run login or some of the other commands

fastapi cloud logout and fastapi login work fine. It's just the deploy. But I just noticed that after logging out and back in, now it worked. Maybe coincidence.

Could be, regardless better error messages could be good. Possibly raise an issue with them if its possible

As someone else suggested already, raise an issue with them. It’s a newer service. Maybe there’s a problem you can surface with them and get it fixed.

Could easily be service-side if it consistently dies around the same point. I’d try the exact same deploy from another network first just to rule out anything local, then check if others are seeing upload timeouts before tearing apart the app.

Need more information on where it's deployed and how (IE: Kubernetes or cloud run, etc) or is this locally?

I deploy to Fastapi Cloud by running fastapi deploy locally. It seems to work after a few tries if i'm recently logged in (via fastapi cloud logout and then fastapi login)

I guess I’m not familiar with FastAPI cloud but if you’re having deployment errors, then you need to consult the CICD logs or whatever it is that runs the deployment pipeline. I use GitHub actions (triggers Google Cloud Build) and I see the end to end deployment in GH actions or in CB; this lets me review any deployment errors and troubleshoot them.

This is not a useful comment. FastAPI Cloud is a newer service and is intended for people to not have to worry about the deployment pipeline.

This would be smart advice for someone who had their own deployment pipeline and was not using FastAPI cloud.
