Project: natural-analysis (c20874fb-cd16-433e-a2e9-7e1732f5a69c)

Environment: production

PostgreSQL service ID: 04ae4f3f-a5de-48ef-8ef0-7c432b9bbe56

Issue: Hardware failure notification at 12:37 UTC July 14. Service shows online but won't accept database connections. API logs show "P1001: Can't reach database server at postgres.railway.internal:5432" since ~12:59 UTC

What you've tried: Attempted restart and redeploy — neither took effect

Region: europe-west4-drams3a

Your Postgres service's latest deployment is stuck in DEPLOYING state, which is why your API cannot reach it. To fix this, open the Postgres service in your project, press Cmd+K (or Ctrl+K) to open the command palette, and select "Redeploy source image" - this re-pulls a fresh container image. A normal redeploy or restart from the 3-dot menu will not resolve this. Once Postgres is back up, redeploy your API service so it can re-establish connections.

Redeployment from source image is also stuck, and whole service is not answering for more than an hour

Theres a hardware problem at the moment, and you're probably affected. You can follow the status by the banner above the dashboard. You should also have received an email if you were impacted
