I have a postgres service with my production database, since the outage i havent been able to connect and my app is down. I saw that restarting the service can fix the problem i would like to know if there is a chance that i lose my data doing that. thanks in advance.

If you deployed the template postgres that we provide you shouldnt lose any data no!
It uses a persistent volume.

Based on what I see, I think you may have resolved the issue already, but let us know if you have not.
Data persistence on Railway requires a volume attached to the service, mounted at the correct path - for Postgres, that's /var/lib/postgresql/data. If data is disappearing on restart while tables remain, the volume may not be attached or may be mounted to a different path than where Postgres stores its data. I notice you have two volumes in your project, so maybe the right one was not attached?
