I'm having a really difficult time migrating my managed postgresql instance in Google Cloud just to get it to a newer version. I'm down to my last option: shut down everything, export, re-import somewhere else again. I did briefly have logical replication working, and so had my near zero downtime solution in hand. But the replication broke after a few days because I delayed cutting over, and then I couldn't get it going again. I couldn't find out how to debug this either. The lesson I've learned here is that I'll be avoiding managed DB products whenever I can. It takes away control that turns out I sometimes really need.
