When I do a new deploy of my app, it errors if the connected postgres app has stopped, because the release_command is bin/rails db:migrate.
Sometimes, if my site hasn’t been visited recently, the postgres app’s machines become stopped. If a deploy is then triggered (e.g. via a Github Action I have), it fails.
I’m wondering how to handle this… Should I
a) Try to start the postgres app machines as part of the release_command? Is that even possible?
b) Prevent the postgres app machines from stopping? Is that possible? Is there a setting similar to min_machines_running?
c) Try something else?
Any advice much appreciated!
