PostgreSQL connection drops: database system is shutting down in line 0: SELECT pg_advisory_unlock($1)

I keep getting intermittent errors with the PostgreSQL connection when running migrations. When it happens it does so at seemingly random stages during the migration however it always provides the same reason pq: the database system is shutting down in line 0: SELECT pg_advisory_unlock($1).

error: driver: bad connection in line 0: INSERT INTO "schema_migrations" (version, dirty) VALUES ($1, $2) and pq: the database system is shutting down in line 0: SELECT pg_advisory_unlock($1)
Exited with code 1

The .circleci/config.yml looks as follows:

Any ideas what could cause this issue?

Looks like it’s a Go sql issue:
