Django DB connection issue

I've recently come across this issue where any time my django app tries to connect to my postgresql db I see:
django.db.utils. OperationalError: connection to server at "containers-us-west-129.railway.app" , port 7217 failed: Connection refused
Is the server running on that host and accepting TCP/IP connections?

I haven't made or committed any changes for over a week now, and just a couple of days ago, everything was working fine. However, I noticed that this service has suddenly stopped this morning.

Any assistance in getting this service back up ASAP and running would be greatly appreciated.

Thank you.

your Django app was still connected to the deprecated legacy database when the database was shut down this morning, you will need to re-run the migration and update the database variables in use by Django to the variables provided by the new database.

Thanks for your prompt response Brody. I noticed that the last migration from legacy ran 12 days ago, can I force another migration to get it up to date with my new postgresql in railway?
