Hi everyone,

My PostgreSQL service on Railway suddenly stopped accepting connections, both from internal services and external clients. It was working perfectly fine before, and nothing has changed in my configuration or environment variables.

• I get repeated messages like:

could not receive data from client: Connection reset by peer

• My application logs (Python + asyncpg) show:
  TimeoutError during asyncpg.create_pool()

asyncio.exceptions.CancelledError

• Connections from inside the Railway network (e.g. other services in the same project) and from outside both hang and eventually time out.

I’ve already tried:

• Restarting my application services

• Verifying credentials and connection URLs

• Waiting in case it was a transient issue

But the database is still unreachable even though it appears to start normally.

It looks similar to some of the recent “TCP Proxy for PostgreSQL not accepting connections” threads, except in my case internal connections also fail, so it seems like a deeper networking or container issue.

Plese help!!! This is my production database
