A few weeks ago, one of the worst security vulnerabilities to date in PostgreSQL was discovered. To address this issue, Heroku deployed a point release upgrade across the entire Heroku Postgres service earlier this week. This resulted in a period of database unavailability, typically with a duration of less than one minute. Every database running on Heroku Postgres is now appropriately patched and is unaffected by the vulnerability.
