Autobase 2.6 introduces a blue-green deployment workflow that allows you to prepare a fully upgraded cluster in advance and switch traffic with near-zero downtime.

Instead of upgrading your production cluster directly, you can:

• deploy a clone of the cluster (Patroni standby cluster),
• synchronize data using physical replication,
• automatically upgrade PostgreSQL on the target cluster,
• convert it into a logical replica,
• and continue receiving live changes from production until switchover.

When ready — switch traffic in seconds with near-zero downtime! If needed, rollback is just as fast and without data loss due to reverse logical replication.
