Downtime Considerations
Migration requires planned downtime. Typical timeline:
-
Small deployments (< 100GB data): 30 minutes to 2 hours
-
Medium deployments (100GB - 500GB): 2 to 6 hours
-
Large deployments (> 500GB): 6+ hours
Factors affecting duration:
-
Total data size across all services
-
Network bandwidth between source and target
-
Storage performance on both systems
-
Complexity of PostgreSQL schema and data
Plan for additional time for verification and troubleshooting.
