Data missing after removing Postgres deployment

I removed the deployment of my postgres database. I am not very familiar with postgres on railway and just set it up once in the past. From what I see there were no volumes attached, can the data be recovered? And what does having a volume attached do? project id

Having the volume attached like in the screenshot below provides data persistence.

I just followed the steps that you took on a test, and the volume stayed in place.

I'm going to tag the team on this one, as I feel you found a nice little bug.

If you deployed it from the "Deploy Postgres" button when creating the project, it should definitely have had a volume attached. I have notified the team, unfortunately, they are distributed and for a majority of them it is midnight, so they will respond most likely in the morning.
