What if we consider a slightly adjusted procedure? 0. Temporarily, forbid running any DDL on the source cluster. 1. On the source, create publication, replication slot and remember the LSN for it 2. Restore the target cluster to that LSN using restore_target_lsn (PITR) 3. Run pg_upgrade on the target cluster 4. Only now, create subscription to target 5. Wait until logical replication catches up 6. Perform a switchover to the new cluster taking care of lags in sequences, etc 7. Resume DDL when needed Do you see any data loss happening in this approach?
