I wanted to try doing something similar to this in our dev environment (think shared dev database but per branch clones), but this limitation seemed tricky to accept:

> The source database can't have any active connections during cloning.

I wouldn't mind some lock contention, but having to kill all connections seemed a bit harsh

I guess it's still possible with a replica that no one is using?

So you don't need to touch real production db?

Not sure if it applies for all use cases tou
