Hi Railway Support,

I'm experiencing persistent ECONNRESET errors when trying to connect to my PostgreSQL database from my Node.js application.

Issue Details:

  • Error:

    read ECONNRESET

    from

    pg-pool/index.js:45:11

  • Occurs on ALL connection attempts (SSL required, SSL prefer, no SSL)

  • Started around September 25, 2025 (coinciding with your US-West infrastructure issues)

  • Application deployed in Singapore region

Project Info:

  • Project: virtutrade

  • Database: PostgreSQL service

  • App: Node.js with pg library

What I've tried:

  • Multiple SSL configurations (

    sslmode=require

    ,

    sslmode=prefer

    , no SSL)

  • Different connection pool settings

  • Connection retries with exponential backoff

Request:
Please check if there are connectivity issues between my app service and PostgreSQL database service. The error suggests the database is rejecting connections at the TCP level.

Thanks,

Solved

Hi!

I see you're connecting over the public network. First, I was able to confirm that your database is running correctly. You should try running over the private network (postgres.railway.internal) for a more stable connection.
