Vapor: Database Upgrades Are Now Available

Vapor: Database Upgrades Are Now Available

Vapor allows you to easily create and manage RDS and Aurora Serverless databases. And, starting today, you may upgrade an existing database directly from the Vapor UI or using the Vapor CLI.

When upgrading a database, a new database is created with the contents, configuration, and credentials of the original database.

Once the newly upgraded database is available, you may start using it by attaching it to an environment. And, of course, once you are satisfied with the database upgrade, you may delete the original database
