PostgresSQL Volume lost - urgent

What happened:

Our PostgreSQL service had two volumes both mounted at /var/lib/postgresql/data, which caused Postgres to fail with "Failed to create deployment". In an attempt to fix the conflict, I deleted one of the volumes via the volumeDelete GraphQL mutation. Unfortunately, I deleted the wrong one — the one containing our production data.

Deleted volume:

  • Volume name: postgres-volume-vnwG
  • Volume ID: 8b5062ae-8ae9-49f9-824c-1cf0a414ddeb
  • Deleted at approximately: 2026-04-13 ~20:40 UTC

Is there any possibility of recovering the data from the deleted volume 8b5062ae-8ae9-49f9-824c-1cf0a414ddeb? Even a block-level snapshot or backup from your infrastructure would be sufficient. Any restore point from before 20:40 UTC on April 13, 2026 would work.

Thank you.
