I am not sure if PostgreSQL locks everything when you dump it. If it does, that could lead to issues if you are currently making database transactions. If you have questions regarding downtime, you can look at the status page and/or contact support with questions. Looking at my statuses of my droplets (All in NYC3), I had 100% uptime for the 23rd. You could’ve experienced a routing issue, etc. There are many causes for downtime, but the first place to check are your logs.
