How difficult would it be to migrate from one way of hosting it such as aws to another, such as authzed's dedicated or a self-hosted kubernetes cluster? Is there a standard way of (live?) migrating the data between two different instances?

zed backup

may help, though I'm not sure this answers the "live" part of this question: https://authzed.com/blog/how-to-backup-and-restore-spicedb

thanks for the pointer! It's a good starting point

@Chris Morin iirc it's theoretically possible to have two different SpiceDB clusters pointed at the same backing datastore. it's functionally what you've got when you're running in ECS, since the pods aren't aware of each other.

A migration might require migrating between backing stores though. addressed For regular operation, we were planning on having multiple instances pointing to a single backing store. From your previous comment it seems that you wouldn't recommend this.

i wouldn't from a performance perspective, since the horizontal dispatch mechanism for reads wouldn't work

gotcha. I think we'll be okay without much horizontal scaling for a while, so we'll start with that, and then move to k8 when needed

iirc that's what we did at my old company when we moved from self-hosted ECS to k8s

thanks for the help! It's greatly appreciated.

sure thing!
