X_DB_UNAVAILABLE

Means

cannot reach the database

Typical cause

nothing listening on DATABASE_URL, a closed pool, or @electric-sql/pglite not installed for a pglite:// url — every failure that never reached a server, and As of 2026-09-05 only those: a failure carrying a SQLSTATE is proof the server answered and is one of the two rows below. The driver's own words ride in the cause (ECONNREFUSED 127.0.0.1:5432). As of 2026-11-02 also a plain statement with no answer past the role's statement timeout + 5 s: the cause names the bound and the statement, the pool is replaced and the next statement opens a new one, and an autocommit write may have landed. Unclassified for retry, so a job worker re-runs the attempt: that write runs again, at least once

Fix

set DATABASE_URL to a reachable Postgres, or x dev for the embedded PGlite — bun add @electric-sql/pglite when the url is pglite://
