Very slow queries followed by checkpointer process killed with signal 9

Hello,

I'm troubleshooting an issue where about once a week, a database appears to lock up and then the PostgreSQL process crashes and recovers. When this happens, a few queries will be logged, but there is no pattern to which queries are executing when the crash happens, and the queries logged don't appear to be queries that would consume a lot of resources.

It seems like something in the backend is locking up, causing queries to slow down or fail before Postgres crashes.

Here's an example of the log output leading up to and following one of these crashes:
2023-03-30 13:03:21.943 UTC [4155] LOG:  duration: 14232.602 ms  statement: START TRANSACTION;

2023-03-30 13:04:28.444 UTC [8916] FATAL:  the database system is in recovery mode

I'm curious where I should look for root causes.

Thanks!
