Sorry, but telling people to take a logical backup of their database, and then download it onto their local work station is insane for a production application.

Sorry, but telling people to take a logical backup of their database, and then download it onto their local work station is insane for a production application. First, a logical backup at any decent scale will fail, and second, I don't even have enough local storage to do that -- even ignoring the compliance issues with downloading a full copy of production data onto a work station.
For a company like Northflank, I'd expect actual production-grade documentation for migrating, not instructions that are only applicable to a toy app.
- decidertm 8mo agoI agree, I wouldn't either. You can import directly via a DB to DB import in the platform without involving your laptop. https://northflank.com/docs/v1/application/databases-and-persistence/backup-restore-and-import-data#restore-from-a-backup https://northflank.com/docs/v1/application/databases-and-per.... Some folks want to do that, others want to import a backup directly, some want to spawn a read replica and sync their DB. Different strokes for different folks, all supported on Northflank.
