Hi, we are experiencing a production outage with a Railway Postgres database.
The Postgres service shows as online in the Railway dashboard, but our application services cannot connect to it through the private hostname:
postgres.railway.internal:5432
The issue started around 2026-06-19 09:00 UTC. Everything was working normally before that.
Errors from our app services include:
Prisma P1001: Can't reach database server at postgres.railway.internal:5432
connect ETIMEDOUT fd12:c4fe:dc9c:1:1000:77:12d6:a742:5432
When opening the database service in Railway and using Database Connection, it eventually fails with:
Connection terminated unexpectedly
The Postgres logs only show normal checkpoint messages and occasional client disconnects. I do not see Postgres crash/recovery/FATAL logs, and restarting the database service and app services did not resolve the issue.
This looks like a possible Railway private networking / internal IPv6 connectivity issue between services and the Postgres database.
Could you please check whether the private networking endpoint for this Postgres service is healthy? Thank you.

It was hardware failure: A server running your service has experienced a hardware failure. We are actively working to restore it. No action is needed on your part — your service will automatically resume once the issue is resolved.
