Heya,

The service you attached does not have a volume, which is required to persist data across deploys.

You deleted the volume originally attached to your database about 3 months ago

All data written to your database since then was unsaved.

Unfortunately, we're not able to help with this as it results from bad configuration, and not a platform issue.

Best,

Nicolas
