Hi everyone, I have an app deployed on railway that has been working fine for a month straight with no changes.
All of a sudden, it seems like my main service is no longer able to reach my postgres service over the internal networking.
This is what I see in the logs from the main service:
Can't reach database server at `postgres.railway.internal:5432`
Please make sure your database server is running at `postgres.railway.internal:5432`.and this is what I see in the postgres logs:
2025-11-27 16:26:30.683 UTC [92] WARNING: pg_getnameinfo_all() failed: Temporary failure in name resolution
2025-11-27 16:26:30.683 UTC [92] LOG: connection received: host=??? port=???

There is a very real possibility that I'm just a moron and configured something wrong, but I'm at all out of ideas for how to fix this. I would really appreciate any help
the main service will also no longer build because it cannot connect to the postgres service
it seems like the environment is the problem, I made an exact copy and it works fine
