<!-- migrator:start --> *This issue was originally created by [**@<!-- -->anoadragon453**](https://github.com/anoadragon453) at <https://github.com/matrix-org/sygnal/issues/171>.* <!-- migrator:end --> A somewhat recent [change](https://github.com/matrix-org/synapse/pull/8726/) in Synapse enabled by default the behaviour of reconnecting to the Postgres database after losing connection automatically. We likely want to consider doing the same for Sygnal. https://github.com/matrix-org/sygnal/blob/e1b9eb8a4ad5457b793e0271e354058930587b8a/sygnal/sygnal.py#L150-L155
