Definitely leaning towards C, it's designed for migrations!

Wait, can you really use PgBouncer for that? Sounds sketchy.

A full backup sounds risky, I wouldn't go with A.

I think B could work too, but it might take longer.

Option D seems a bit complex with the hot standby and PgBouncer. I don't remember covering that in detail, so I’m hesitant to choose it.

I recall something about using incremental backups, which makes me lean towards option A, but I’m worried about the downtime during the migration window.

I'm not entirely sure, but I feel like option B could work too. Setting up a read replica seems like it could help with the transition, but I’m not confident about the promotion process.

I think option C sounds familiar; I remember practicing with the Database Migration Service in our labs. It seemed like a solid choice for minimizing downtime.

Okay, let's see. The question is asking about the impact of running that cache:clean command. I'm pretty sure it has to do with the target_rule cache, but I want to double-check the options.

Hmm, this looks tricky. I'm not sure how to approach it. Maybe I should re-read the question carefully and try to break it down.

No problem, I've got this. I'll use the formula for the 95% CI: sample mean +/- 1.96 * (sample standard deviation / sqrt(sample size)). Should be straightforward to plug in the numbers.
