Why I'm getting "django.db.utils.OperationalError: server closed the connection unexpectedly" during some operations in Ansible Tower
Issue
I'm getting the following error in Ansible Tower logs
django.db.utils.OperationalError: server closed the connection unexpectedly
This probably means the server terminated abnormally before or while
processing the request.
This problem is usually produced when Tower executes a big operation against the database, like an inventory synchronization from a different source or something like that.
Environment
Ansible Tower + External Postgres
