It's open source. If you want to understand exactly how, you certainly can! :-)

He can't. It's not a reference, just a bunch of CLI examples. Please learn what is the reference. Even docs is a BS, wonderful product. Overall this article is a typical advertising and clickbait..

  • The code is open source though, you can read it. The cli examples point you towards the relevant bits of the actual database code to read.

    For my own sake, I'm not sure what is so surprising here. "Turn up a hot second replica and fail over to it intentionally behind a global load balancer." Is pretty well trodden ground.

      Thank you! :D

      YES!! But the article point us to it's a 400TB+ w/o downtime migration. This is impossible. That why is looks like clickbait and advertising of a product.
