VM Instance to Google Cloud SQL Migration

От

Hi Team,

We would like to migrate our Postgresql VM instance on Google Cloud Platform to Google Cloud SQL with a minimal downtime. As I checked, we have to export and import the SQL file and our database size is large and cannot afford longer downtime.

Do any have solution to achieve this?.

Thanks & Regards,
Sathish Kumar.V

setup a replication from one to the other?

Doesn't seem possible at the moment; here:
https://cloud.google.com/sql/docs/postgres/replication/
it says: "Cloud SQL for PostgreSQL does not yet support replication
from an external
master or external replicas for Cloud SQL instances."

Looking at the feature list:

  https://cloud.google.com/sql/docs/postgres/features

among the "Unsupported features" are: "Any features that require
SUPERUSER privileges"
(apart from a limited number of extensions), which pretty much rules
out pglogical or similar solutions.

That usually also rules out Slony-I, although there's a possibility...

Slony-I includes a feature called log shipping, which could perhaps be used
for this, assuming that the "source" environment does allow superuser
privileges.  (And I think you're running on a PostgreSQL instance where
that's possible...)

See: http://slony.info/documentation/logshipping.html
