Is it possible to increase Postgres instance memory or volume size?
I saw this error for the first time today
pq: could not resize shared memory segment "/PostgreSQL.1910953054" to 2097152 bytes: No space left on device. My app uses Redis and applies heavy caching, but there are enough requests that I think Postgres is starting to hiccup. I'm on a hobby plan. The disk size is still sufficient, I'm at like 2GB of 5GB but I think the Postgres DB is using a bit of memory

Railway is an infrastructure platform where you can provision infrastructure, develop with that infrastructure locally, and then deploy to the cloud.
Does upgrading to a Team plan automatically fix these issues?
hobby gets you a 5gb volume and it's entirely possible that postgres is trying to allocate some space that isn't available.
you can upgrade to pro, then after you move your project to the team workspace go into the postgres volumes settings and grow the volume to 50gb
Thanks. What about RAM? Also what happens if you use >50 GB?
I think you're getting ram and volume terminology mixed up, ram is memory and volume is storage, the data in postgres is stored in the volume.
once on the team and you find yourself needing more of anything you would need to email the team for a custom plan
@Brody No I know my point was I can't see how much memory is available to me here
I don't know what the RAM limits are or how to find them
hobby: 8gb
pro 32gb
that graph auto scales
Oh thanks, OK 8GB is plenty. It's per instance?
correct, per service
Thanks!
no problem!
