Hey ubicloud! Does it have zero downtime upgrades and HA? We are currently self hosting postgres simply. But missing HA and zero downtime upgrades. Thanks!

  RDS doesn't have zero downtime updates from what I know - they update & failover so there is a brief outage (1-2 min).

    In my experience it is less that 1 minute but may not be zero downtime...

      Is that true for major and minor Pg versions? Last I checked it's only true for patch versions, OS updates, and instance size changes -- at least with multi-AZ. Perhaps it works for RDS clustering or Aurora? Also wouldn't recommend the new blue-green switch over yet. It fails safe yet when it goes sideways it can take a while to clean up.

        yeah, you're right, major versions are a pita...

  Hey! Ubicloud employee here. We currently support PG 16. HA will be available very soon. We will also have upgrades enabled by the time PG 17 comes :)

    Awesome. We are looking forward to that. These are some of the more challenging parts when self-hosting pg.

      Hey @kosolam! Absolutely, we're excited about these developments too. It’s a team effort here at Ubicloud, and we're fortunate to have experienced folks from Heroku PG, Citusdata, Crunchy Bridge, and Azure CosmosDB for PostgreSQL. We all have firsthand experience with the challenges of self-hosting PG, and we're committed to making these features as user-friendly and robust as possible. Looking forward to bringing you HA and smooth upgrades soon!
