Some time this weekend, we'll be upgrading the #Mastodon #PostgreSQL cluster on #MSTDNDK. The cluster is being managed by #CloudNativePG and upgrades have been successfully tested on multiple other clusters - even upgrades directly from version 15 to 18.

While this is an incredibly smooth and easy process, major upgrades requires that #CNPG takes down the whole database cluster, meaning https://mstdn.dk will be unavailable for a period of time. Exactly how long is unknown, since we've never actually done this before with clusters of this size.

I'll keep you posted and give you fair warning 🙂
