Unable to connect to Postgres

Both services are in EU West, same project, same environment (production). postgres.railway.internal:5432 is completely unreachable from the app container.

ProjectID: 977ad5df-e23e-4b18-84ca-7282d6fa4320

WhatI'vetried:

- pg_isready -h postgres.railway.internal -p 5432 → no response

- Added retry loop (10 attempts, 3s apart) — all fail with connection timeout

- Redeploying both services

- Verified both services are in EU West

Triggering a redeployment for you.

Not sure why that worked when earlier redeploys didn't address this, but it's working now.
