Overview
Heroku upgraded our Postgres version today via regular maintenance (12-10-2020) and it brought down with a message
PG::InvalidParameterValue: ERROR: invalid value for parameter “client_min_messages”: “panic”
Found a way to monkey patch and get the app back up via:

I think a better option would to re-provision to postgres 9.6 specifically. I couldn't check the version this AM, but best guess is that we are on 10 or 11 version that dropped the support for 'panic'. I don't have a ton of knowledge about this as of now
