Planned database maintenance: Friday, Mar 6 – Saturday, Mar 7
Hi everyone,
If you don’t know me, I’m Fede, the community manager here at Bubble. I want to give you a heads-up about some planned maintenance that will temporarily limit certain editor actions next week.
What’s happening
We’re upgrading our Postgres databases. AWS is ending support for the version we currently run, so this upgrade is necessary to keep your apps running reliably on supported infrastructure. It’s a routine but important change, and we want to be upfront about what to expect.
When the maintenance takes place
The maintenance window is overnight Friday, March 6 into Saturday, March 7, from 8 PM ET to 2 PM ET (approximately 18 hours). We recognize that’s quite a long window and plan to work hard to be done faster than that, but please plan for 18 hours just in case.
What will be affected
During the maintenance window, schema changes will be blocked. That means you won’t be able to:
-
Add or modify data types or fields in the editor
-
Deploy previously changed types
-
Copy, delete, or transfer apps
-
Create apps from a template
If you try to do any of these things during the maintenance window, you’ll see an in-editor notification letting you know that the action is temporarily unavailable.
What will NOT be affected
Your live apps will continue to work normally. All standard data operations — creating, reading, updating, and deleting records — will keep running as usual. Your end-users shouldn’t notice anything.
In short: If you’re not making structural changes to your database you likely won’t be affected at all.
What you should do
If you have schema changes or app transfers planned for next Friday night or early Saturday morning, try to get them done before 8 PM ET on Friday, March 6, or wait until after 2 PM ET on Saturday, March 7. Beyond that, no action is needed on your end.
We know Bubblers build at all times of day every day of the week, so we appreciate your patience as we keep things running smoothly behind the scenes. If you have any questions, feel free to drop them below.
