🌇 Sunset Kubernetes deployments
This page covers our PostHog Kubernetes deployment, which we sunset and no longer support. We will continue to provide security updates for Kubernetes deployments until at least May 31, 2024.
For existing customers
We highly recommend migrating to PostHog Cloud (US or EU). Take a look at this guide for more information on the migration process.Looking to continue self-hosting?
We still maintain our Open-source Docker Compose deployment. Instructions for deploying can be found here.
We want to make sure upgrading PostHog is as smooth as possible. We use a synchronous and an asynchronous migration framework to make sure database migrations are easy to be deployed, rolled back and safe to run.
Because some data migrations require touching tables that can get very large for some PostHog installation, some migrations are a little more involved.
For more information on any extra steps needed when updating to specific versions, check out our upgrade notes.
