Potential bug: The PostgreSQL Helm chart is undergoing a major version upgrade from 16.x to 18.x without an accompanying data migration strategy, risking database startup failure on existing deployments.
  • Description: The PostgreSQL Helm chart version is being upgraded from 16.7.26 to 18.0.7, which is a major version jump. While persistence is not explicitly configured, the Bitnami chart enables it by default. The change lacks any data migration strategy, such as pg_dump/pg_restore or pg_upgrade procedures. If this infrastructure is applied to an environment with existing data in a persistent volume, the new PostgreSQL 18.x instance will fail to start due to data format incompatibility with the old 16.x data, causing the database to crash loop and leading to a service outage.

  • Suggested fix: Implement a data migration strategy for the major version upgrade. This typically involves using pre-upgrade and post-upgrade hooks to perform a backup (e.g., pg_dump) before the chart is upgraded and a restore (pg_restore) after the new version is deployed. The upgrade should be a carefully managed process, not an automated dependency update without migration logic.
