Typically, upgrading your Aurora PostgreSQL minor version shouldn’t take several days. Usually, these updates, whether minor or major, are quick and cause only brief downtime. They’re designed to finish within a short period, often just minutes or a few hours.
If your upgrade process has been stuck ‘ongoing’ for multiple days, it’s a sign there might be an issue. Minor updates are simpler and faster, so taking this long is unusual.
The length of time an upgrade takes can depend on the size of your database cluster and the specific changes in the new version. However, even large clusters generally shouldn’t need days to complete an upgrade.
To resolve this, I recommend reaching out to AWS Support. They can check on your cluster’s status and help identify what’s causing the delay. For future upgrades, it’s best to perform them during your scheduled maintenance window or at times when your database isn’t heavily used. This helps ensure the process goes smoothly and minimizes disruptions.
