Hi Railway Support Team,
I’m experiencing unusually slow write performance on my PostgreSQL instance hosted on Railway. Checkpoints are taking a long time to complete — sometimes over 3 minutes, even when writing a small number of buffers. This is directly impacting my bot’s responsiveness and occasionally causing connection delays or failures.
logs:
2025-08-14 11:44:28.583 UTC [27] LOG: checkpoint complete: wrote 24 buffers (0.1%); write=2.295 s, sync=0.339 s, total=66.270 s
2025-08-14 11:48:36.750 UTC [27] LOG: checkpoint complete: wrote 114 buffers (0.7%); write=11.453 s, sync=0.927 s, total=14.068 s
2025-08-14 11:53:51.671 UTC [27] LOG: checkpoint complete: wrote 122 buffers (0.7%); write=12.714 s, sync=5.891 s, total=28.822 s
2025-08-14 11:59:39.521 UTC [27] LOG: checkpoint complete: wrote 141 buffers (0.9%); write=11.305 s, sync=0.115 s, total=76.752 s
2025-08-14 12:06:32.889 UTC [27] LOG: checkpoint complete: wrote 319 buffers (1.9%); write=39.349 s, sync=70.656 s, total=190.275 s

Hey, giving you an update so you (and others) aren't left in the lurch.
We're working through a number of performance optimizations on our hardware fleet to make sure this doesn't pop up again.

Hi anglelo, I have also experienced similar issues just with mysql in our case. Is there a way to follow when changes are applied on this? A ticket or similar?
