The server version is 2016. The installer is the one listed on the postgresql support page. I think version 12.3 was installed the same way but that was before I came into contact with this application

What OS are you using?
How was the Postgres 12.3 instance installed?
What installer are you referring to?
12.3 -> 12.11 is a minor upgrade so you can do the update without a
dump/restore or using pg_upgrade. That being said, at some point in the
process the existing instance(12.3) will need to be stopped and then the
new install for the 12.11 done and then start it. That means there will
be point where the connections will be lost. How big an issue would
that be?
