Our Railway Postgres service is crashing immediately after restart.
In the deploy logs we consistently see:
ERROR (catatonit:2): failed to exec pid1: No such file or directory
The service shows restart completed and then goes back to Crashed right away.
Because of this, the connected web app is also failing to respond.
This does not look like a normal SQL migration error. It appears to be a Postgres service/container startup issue.
Has anyone seen this before?
I’d like to understand:
- whether this points to a Railway container/runtime issue
- whether the database volume is likely still intact
- what the safest recovery path is to avoid data loss

Apologies for this canned message but in an effort to help all our customers get back up and running, we are sending this bulk message. As you may know, we had a major interruption to our services yesterday. We've published a post-mortem if you'd like more information on the incident. It describes what happened and what we are doing to prevent it in the future. We are deeply sorry for the impact that it has had on you.
It is taking some time to bring everything back up, but we are working on it as fast as we can. In general, a redeployment should fix most service issues. Due to the volume of customers redeploying right now, builds and deploys may take longer than normal to process.
