Change your Cloud SQL instance ¶

Nais no longer provides database migration tooling. Choose the procedure for the change you need.

Upgrade the PostgreSQL major version ¶

Upgrade PostgreSQL on your existing instance. You do not need to migrate to a new instance. Plan for application downtime while the upgrade runs.

Reduce disk size ¶

Shrink disk size on your existing instance using gcloud. You do not need to migrate to a new instance.

Move to private IP ¶

For a legacy public-IP instance, use a new instance with private IP and move the data with export/import .

Plan for downtime. Stop writes to the source before the final export and keep them stopped until the application uses the destination. Check that your export method includes the database objects you need, and verify data and application-user permissions on the destination before switching.
