Hello, I urgently need help recovering JSON data files from a removed deployment.
Project: bubbly-unity
Service: Ats
Removed deployment ID: 0092c02c
Deployment ran from 2026-09-19 12:39 GMT+2 until 2026-09-22 13:49 GMT+2.
The Flask application stored important user-entered data in /app/data/ as JSON files. No persistent volume was attached. A new GitHub deployment replaced the running container before the files were exported.
Is there any possibility to recover or temporarily access the writable filesystem of the removed deployment, specifically /app/data/candidates.json, /app/data/projects.json, /app/data/clients.json, /app/data/tasks.json and /app/data/users.json?
Please do not trigger another deployment. The files contain important application data. Any guidance from the Railway team about possible recovery would be greatly appreciated.

The Ats service has no persistent volume attached, so the /app/data/ directory was part of the container's ephemeral filesystem. That storage is discarded when a deployment is replaced, and the data cannot be recovered. Going forward, attaching a volume to the service at /app/data will ensure files persist across redeploys.
