Upgrading Postgres to a new major version on Railway today means manually creating a new service, running dump/restore, and rewiring all your connections. It's painful, error-prone, and downtime scales with your data size.

We're building one-click major version upgrades for Postgres. Before anything runs, a preflight check scans your database for blockers — incompatible extensions, types, roles — with zero downtime. The actual upgrade takes only minutes of write downtime regardless of database size. Automatic backups are taken before and after, PITR re-anchors to the new version, and you get a one-click revert option for 30 days. You'll also be able to do a full dry-run rehearsal against a snapshot before committing to anything. For HA clusters, the whole process is coordinated — replicas reseed automatically from the upgraded leader.
