 Logical replication is a common method for upgrading the Postgres major version on BigAnimal instances, enabling a transition with minimal downtime. 
 
-By replicating changes in real-time from an older version (source instance) to a newer one (target instance), this method provides a reliable upgrade path while maintaining database availability.

 !!! Important
-Depending on where your older and newer versioned BigAnimal instances are located, this procedure may accrue ingress and egress costs from your cloud service provider (CSP) for the migrated data. Please consult your CSP's pricing documentation to see how ingress and egress fees are calculated to determine any extra costs.
