How We Migrated from Heroku Postgres to AWS RDS

说明与用途

Wootric 将数据库从 Heroku Postgres 迁移到 AWS RDS PostgreSQL，提升了可扩展性和成本控制。

问题

Heroku Postgres was limiting scalability and cost control for Wootric’s growing database needs.

结果

The migration completed with minimal downtime, improved performance, and better cost control.

工作流

• 1. Assessed current Heroku Postgres usage and identified required RDS instance size.
• 2. Created an AWS RDS PostgreSQL instance with matching configuration.
• 3. Used pg_dump to export data from Heroku Postgres.
• 4. Restored dump into the new RDS instance via pg_restore.
• 5. Updated application configuration to point to the RDS endpoint.
• 6. Performed validation tests to ensure data integrity and application functionality.
• 7. Decommissioned the old Heroku Postgres instance after successful migration.
