In my experience: - Patroni switchover happens in a few seconds - If you use pgbouncer, the client connections don't get dropped. A client that issues a query in that brief window will get an error. - If your clients have retry logic, your users will never notice the failover. -- Scott Ribe scott_ribe@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx https://www.linkedin.com/in/scottribe/ > On Dec 27, 2023, at 10:38 PM, Rajesh Kumar <rajeshkumar.dba09@xxxxxxxxx> wrote: > > Do I have to take a downtime of few mns and stop the applications and do a switchover? > > What happens internally when we use the command patronictl switchover?
