What is the reason for this report?

I’m using the new Apps features with a Ruby on Rails 6 application. Deployments are taking 10-20 minutes (sometimes 30 minutes) when they were taking about 1-2 minutes on Heroku (it’s a big application).

Right now during business hours I have an App that is deploying and the application has been down for about 20-45 minutes (as now there a ruby bug causing it to continuously deploy).

At this point I’m about to switch the application back to Heroku because we simply can’t run a business with a crashing server.

Has anyone else had this experience and if so is there any solution?

I had the same issue. So many unnecessary build steps are taken place. Even a simple react app took 30 mins to build which takes like 2-3 min on my system. Also need something like AWS Fargate to build as sometimes we need higher resources during build time.

@support - these deploys are BRUTAL. Please. Please.
