The infrastructure update went well! 
The downtime was only 50 minutes, and on my side it took about 2 hours to complete the migration:
This new infrastructure makes us use:
- PostgreSQL 14, whereas I was using PostgreSQL 10 until now. There are nice performance improvements in the latest PG versions so it’s all beneficial for Gladys Plus users. I now use my host DigitalOcean’s managed databases, which will allow me in the future to update PostgreSQL without any downtime. Security updates are automatically applied by the host within a window that I set, again without downtime. The goal is to offload the DB administration task — now it’s managed by professionals. On top of that, if I need to scale the DB up or down, add replicas to the cluster, etc., it’s possible in a few clicks and without service interruption
- Switch to Redis 7 (Redis 4 before). Similarly, performance improvements have been added in the latest Redis versions so I hope this will improve Gladys Plus performance.
- HTTP 3 / QUIC over UDP support: The HTTP/3 protocol has been enabled in most browsers since last year, and it provides better performance. Gladys Plus is now compatible with this protocol. To learn more: HTTP/3 is Fast! - Request Metrics 🦥
If any of you ever want to use DigitalOcean, I recommend this host which, in my opinion, is very complete and professional in its management.
