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.
