Great article. Thank you! I am interested in learning more about the failure scenarios, especially during the migration. What if the aysnc replication takes longer than expected? What if the target fails right after the switch? What happens to the incoming queries if the migration takes longer than expected? Do they fail or does it the client retry with backoff resulting in 5 9's of availability?
