Dear Railway Support Team,

I am experiencing a critical issue with my PostgreSQL database hosted on the Railway platform. Today, I encountered the following error messages in the logs, indicating that the database system was not properly shut down and underwent automatic recovery:

2025-03-18 14:31:58.443 UTC [26] LOG: database system is ready to accept connections

While the logs indicate that the recovery process completed successfully and the database is ready to accept connections, the unexpected improper shutdown is concerning and could pose risks to data integrity and system stability.​

I kindly request your assistance in investigating the root cause of this improper shutdown and guidance on preventive measures to avoid such occurrences in the future. Ensuring the reliability and stability of the database is crucial for our operations.

Thank you for your prompt attention to this matter.

Best regards,
