Abstract
Systems, devices, and methods are disclosed to create a second subcluster in a sandbox, wherein the second subcluster corresponds to a first subcluster that requires an upgrade. The first subcluster is currently in use by a client executing an application. A second subcluster is created in a sandbox, which mirrors the first sandbox. The second subcluster is upgraded and, when complete, the first subcluster is paused, and state information is obtained from the first subcluster and copied to the second subcluster. Once the state information is uploaded to the second subcluster, communications between the client and database are set to use the second subcluster. As a result, the client experiences only a minor delay rather than any unavailability of the accessed databases.
