How We Migrated from Heroku Postgres to AWS RDS

说明与用途

将数据库从 Heroku Postgres 迁移到 AWS RDS，提高了可扩展性并降低了成本。

问题

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

结果

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

工作流

• 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.

证据

We migrated from Heroku Postgres to AWS RDS to gain better scalability and cost control.
