Hello,
I’m having a recurring issue with my Railway deployment.
Project:
efficient-blessing
Environment:
production
Problem:
My n8n service keeps failing with:
“Application failed to respond”
At the same time, the Railway Postgres UI keeps looping between:
“Attempting to connect to the database…”
and
“Session error”
with the message:
“We are unable to connect to the database via SSH.”
This already happened yesterday as well.
What I already tried:
-
Restarted both Postgres and n8n
-
Added:
- DB_POSTGRESDB_CONNECTION_TIMEOUT=60000
- DB_POSTGRESDB_SSL=true
- DB_POSTGRESDB_SSL_REJECT_UNAUTHORIZED=false
-
Confirmed that:
- volumes still exist
- N8N_ENCRYPTION_KEY still exists
- services show as Online
Important:
I do NOT want to recreate the deployment because I have existing n8n credentials/workflows connected to Gmail, Bright Data, etc.
It currently looks like:
- Postgres networking/session issue
- or Railway SSH/Postgres UI issue
Could you please check the project/networking/database state?
Thanks.

Your n8n service is currently in a crashed state, and this is almost certainly caused by the ongoing major service disruption affecting GCP-hosted workloads, including traffic, networking, and the database UI. Your Postgres service itself shows as healthy (last successful deploy on May 7), so your data and volumes should be intact. Once the incident is fully resolved, redeploy your n8n service and the Postgres connectivity should restore normally - no need to recreate anything.
