Hi there. Deploying a ‘starter’ web service integrated with git and having an issue - once I push an update, the build gets triggered, everything goes off without an error, but the event status for the deploy is stuck in ‘in progress’ for a long time, and then seems to eventually time out.
As you can see it states ‘Build successful’ and once yarn is run, the app starts to write to the logs… but a few minutes later, Render shuts the app down as it ‘timed out’. This is a critical issue for us right now, any pointers appreciated.
Note the app itself is simply communicating with Discord via discord.js, and is not using express.
Is there something I can do to ensure that render understands that the build succeeded? The documentation is almost non-existent unfortunately, and we are in the process of attempting to migrate over from Heroku.
Hey there,
You might have more success running this as a background worker as opposed to a webservice. A webservice is expected to expose an HTTP port which is what we bind to. A background worker doesn’t have to bind to a port which is more suited for Discord bots.
