Faced a situation we need to consolidate few small postgres instances to a bigger one

Cant figure out how to replicate "old" db new data to "new" db when the replacement happens

Ill try to simple it :

old db instance name is X
new db instance is Y

X has 10 GB of data and its takes 15~ minutes to dump & restore
in the meanwhile X receives more data (1-2 MB)

** HOW do i make X replicate data to Y so this data wont get lost ? **

I have this small script for dump & restore

## remote db to remote db

PGPASSWORD=$source_pass pg_dump -h $source_host -d $source_db_name -U $source_user -p $source_port > test.sql

psql postgres://$dest_user:$dest_pass@$dest_host:$dest_port/postgres -c "CREATE DATABASE ${source_db_name}" \
-c "CREATE USER ${source_user} WITH PASSWORD '${source_pass}'" \
-c "ALTER USER "${source_user}" WITH CREATEDB" \
|| echo "database already exists"

psql postgres://$dest_user:$dest_pass@$dest_host:$dest_port/$source_db_name < test.sql \
 && echo "loaded Data succesfuly !" || echo "Couldnt load data"

  • Have you tried Data Migration Service (DMS) ? – Oscar De León Sep 11 '21 at 09:44
  • I thought about it but when i try to create a replication instance i see no option of choosing any instances in the instance class option..its says no new generation instances class in this region – Eyal Solomon Sep 11 '21 at 12:18
