Hi, Can we upgrade datahub from 0.8.38 to 0.8.43 without any data loss or failure? Thanks

it is designed to be upgradeable without issues, however, it is good practice to do data backups like dumping the RDBMS and taking ES snapshots
Copy code
Production

The recommended backup strategy is to periodically dump the database datahub.metadata_aspect_v2 so it can be recreated from the dump which most managed DB services will support (e.g. AWS RDS). Then run restore indices to recreate the indices.

In order to back up Time Series Aspects (which power usage and dataset profiles), you'd have to do a backup of Elasticsearch, which is possible via AWS OpenSearch. Otherwise, you'd have to reingest dataset profiles from your sources in the event of a disaster scenario!

I'll look into it. Thanks for the information

We usually document any breaking changes in our release notes, which you can find here https://github.com/datahub-project/datahub/releases

It will not be backwards incompatible from a data perspective
