Abstract: Techniques are disclosed pertaining to migrating a database between different storage clusters. A computer system identifies a current state of the database that is managed by a database application that enables a client application to access data of the database stored at a first storage cluster. The computer system copies first particular data of the database that is associated with the current state from the first storage cluster to a second storage cluster. After the copying, the computer system transitions the database application into a read-only mode in which it processes read but not write traffic. The computer system copies, from the first storage cluster to the second storage cluster, second particular data of the database that was generated by the database application during the copying of the first particular data. The computer system may also instantiate another instance of the database application in association with the second storage cluster.
