“Don't I feel in my soul that I make up a part of that huge, harmonious whole? Don't I feel that, among the countless number of beings in which the divinity— the higher power-whatever you like— is manifest, I make up one link, one step from lower beings to higher? If I see, see clearly, this ladder that leads from plant to man, then why should I suppose that this ladder, the lower end of which I do not see, is lost in the plants? Why should I suppose that this ladder stops with me and does not lead further and further to higher beings? I feel not only that I cannot disappear, as nothing disappears in the world, but that I will always be and have always been. I feel I feel that, besides me, above me, spirits live, and then in this world, there is truth.” — Pierre Bezhukov in War and Peace — I am always astounded reading old works, and feeling the humanness of the people then.

This recounts how @DanielWoelfel and I went on a rabbit hole, and did major postgres upgrade with zero downtime! Hope you enjoy it : )
Just published "A Major Postgres Upgrade with Zero Downtime" Last Christmas, we realized we needed to do a major Posgres upgrade. Normally this requires downtime. But we went on a rabbit hole and got to zero downtime! This goes over the story — we hope you enjoy it : )
