Postgres crash-looping on startup — possible data corruption on postgres-volume

My Postgres service in project "sophiie-lead-form" (production) has been

crash-looping for ~24 hours. It starts and immediately dies before accepting

any connection.

Symptoms:

  • CPU flatlines at 0 vCPU, memory drops to 0 B immediately on startup

  • Error: "server closed the connection unexpectedly / server terminated

    abnormally before or while processing the request"

  • Resources are NOT the issue — allocated at 8 vCPU / 8 GB, was only

    using ~50MB before crashing

  • No backups available (hobby plan)

The postgres-volume still exists and contains ~11,000 rows of critical

business data (leads table). I believe the data files may be corrupted

from a previous kill mid-write.

Can you help repair or recover the data from the postgres-volume?

Alternatively, is it possible to attach the volume to a new Postgres

instance so it can run recovery?

Try redeploying the service.
