Upgrade Railway postgres v15 to v16

The first picture is the old Railway PG service created almost 2 yrs ago, and the 2nd picture is the new Railway PG service created recently. We want to upgrade service to the new version - v16. How can we accomplish this? While preserving data, 1. Can we directly upgrade the old v15 service without deleting it? 2. If not working, what do you recommend moving data from v15 to a newer service?

Solution:

you can't go directly from pg15 to pg16, you would need to deploy a new database and sync the data over
