We at Val Town have set up Auto Deploy to start a new deployment whenever we merge a GitHub PR into our main branch. Typically, this process kicks off almost instantly. However, today we have been experiencing significant delays between the time a commit is merged and when the deploy actually begins. Below are the delay times for our most recent commits:
11:34am: 37 minutes delayed
11:03am: 25 minutes delayed
10:34am: 10 minutes delayed
9:22am: Instant
Notably, we had 5 commits earlier today that were not deployed at all. There have been no changes to our configuration and everything was working smoothly until today. We have already checked our GitHub settings and there doesn’t seem to be an issue on that end.
Any insights or advice would be greatly appreciated. Thank you.
Render relies on receiving a Webhook from GitHub in order to trigger a build. GitHub had an incident involving webhook delivery earlier today that I believe aligns with your issues you experienced GitHub Status - Incident with Webhooks
Assuming that git itself isn’t impacted (and wasn’t in this case), you can still use the Render Dashboard to manually deploy a build. But the aforementioned incident was likely the cause of why your builds were delayed or missed.
