Our self-hosted n8n instance on Railway is completely down due to the active storage incident in the SG3 region (incident #28BGWVE8).

Issues we are experiencing:

  • n8n returns {"code":503,"message":"Database is not ready!"} on all requests
  • Primary service deploy logs show repeated "Database connection timed out" and "timeout exceeded when trying to connect" errors
  • Postgres service itself shows as Active/Online but is unreachable from our n8n services

Our setup:

  • Primary service (n8n)
  • Worker service (n8n worker)
  • Postgres (SG3 region, with cow-volume attached storage)
  • Redis

The database connection timeouts started around the same time as the SG3 storage incident (June 5, 08:44 UTC).

Please prioritize resolution of the SG3 storage incident as it is causing complete downtime for our production n8n instance.

We're aware of storage degradation affecting the SG3 region and our infrastructure team is actively working on resolution. Your n8n project's services in this region are impacted, and connectivity should restore once the underlying storage issue is resolved - no action needed on your side.

Until when will it be resolved?

We don't have a specific ETA for resolution at this time. Our infrastructure team is actively working on it, and your services should recover automatically once the underlying storage issue is addressed.

May I confirm if this is related to the Host reboot notice earlier?

Yes, host reboot notices are part of how we handle infrastructure events. Railway initiates redeployments when a host requires updates or experiences a fault, as described in our deployment docs. A storage incident in the same region can trigger host-level recovery actions, so the two are likely connected. Your services should recover automatically once the underlying issue is resolved.
