Our engineering team is actively investigating the outage impacting customers using our Basic plans for Heroku Postgres. Customers running Heroku Postgres within Private Spaces are not impacted. If you are effected by this issue you will see connection failures to your database that look like this “FATAL: the database system is starting up”.
