-# Database Migration Strategy for Kubernetes
-
-This document describes how database migrations are handled in the Kubernetes deployment to ensure only one node runs migrations at a time.
-
-## Overview
-
-In a distributed environment with multiple pods, we need to ensure that database migrations only run once, not multiple times concurrently. We use two strategies:
-
-1. **PostgreSQL Advisory Locks** - For runtime migration coordination
-2. **Init Containers** - For deployment-time migrations (recommended)
-
-## Implementation
-
-### 1. PostgreSQL Advisory Locks
-
-The `Aprsme.MigrationLock` module uses PostgreSQL advisory locks to ensure only one node can run migrations at a time:
-
-- Uses `pg_try_advisory_lock()` to acquire a non-blocking lock
-- Other nodes wait for the lock to be released
-- Automatically releases the lock after migrations complete
-
-### 2. Init Container (Recommended)
-
-The StatefulSet can be configured with an init container that runs migrations before the main pods start:
-
-```bash
-# Apply the init container patch
-kubectl patch statefulset aprs -n aprs --patch-file k8s/statefulset-init-container-patch.yaml
-```
-
-This approach:
-- Runs migrations sequentially before any pods start
-- Prevents race conditions
-- Makes migration failures visible in pod events
-
-### 3. Auto-Migration Disabled in Cluster Mode
-
-When `CLUSTER_ENABLED=true`, automatic migrations on startup are disabled to prevent race conditions.
-
-## Manual Migration
-
-To run migrations manually:
-
-```bash
-# Run on the first pod
-kubectl exec -it aprs-0 -n aprs -- /app/bin/migrate
-
-# Or create a one-off job
-kubectl run migrate-job --rm -it --image=ghcr.io/aprsme/aprs.me:latest \
-  --env="DATABASE_URL=$DATABASE_URL" \
-  --env="SECRET_KEY_BASE=$SECRET_KEY_BASE" \
-  --env="MIX_ENV=prod" \
-  --env="SKIP_DB_CREATE=true" \
-  --restart=Never \
-  -- /app/bin/migrate
-```
-
-## Configuration
-
-Environment variables:
-- `CLUSTER_ENABLED=true` - Enables distributed locking
-- `SKIP_DB_CREATE=true` - Skips database creation (for PgBouncer)
-
-## Best Practices
-
-1. **Use Init Containers** for production deployments
-2. **Test migrations** in a staging environment first
-3. **Monitor migration logs** during deployments
-4. **Have rollback plan** ready with `mix ecto.rollback`
