Aurora Serverless v1 to v2 Upgrade

Serverless Framework
1

Hi,

I need to upgrade from serverless aurora v1 to v2, also of note is that we exclusively use the Data API to access the database and we only access the database using a secrets ARN - there is no username or password. It is a mysql db unfortunately not postgres.

Theres’s lots of information on how to do this using the AWS console, CLI or CDK but I can’t find any information with respect to straight Cloudformation or any Serverless Framework guides.

I am concerned that taking any other route is going to cause my stack to drift and then I am not going to be able to deploy using Serverless Framework after that point.

Has anyone performed this upgrade using Serverless Framework yml only?

Any advice would be greatly appreciated.

Many Thanks,
Mark

There’s a few manual steps involved so it’s not possible to migrate using Serverless or Cloudformation.
There’s a few pitfalls for the Data-API as well.
I’ve written an article on Medium about it. It’s for Postgresql, but would apply to MySQL as well.
