How We Migrated from Heroku Postgres to AWS RDS

Описание и применение

Перенос базы данных с Heroku Postgres на AWS RDS позволил Wootric улучшить масштабируемость и снизить расходы.

Задача

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

Результат

The migration reduced database costs by approximately 30% and improved query performance, enabling Wootric to scale its user base without compromising reliability.

Рабочий процесс

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