Portal Frontend – PostgreSQL 18.x Upgrade (Tracking Issue)

[ds-hzimmer]

Description

Assumption that database persistence required by Portal Frontend and other components like Portal Frontend Registration would be covered by the PostgreSQL 18.x (edit: this goal was changed from 17.x according to latest TRG updates and discussions with committers in November 2025) upgrade requested in the Portal Backend repository with eclipse-tractusx/portal-backend#1437

Otherwise please implement and track updates in separate sub-task issues.

See main issue eclipse-tractusx/sig-release#1501 for further details.

Test and Release Management will coordinate this activity.

Why it matters

• Confirms that Portal Frontend is reviewed for the PostgreSQL upgrade scope to ensure transparency in release tracking that this component does not require separate DB changes.
• Prevents confusion about whether the Portal Frontend was overlooked in upgrade planning.

Acceptance Criteria

1. Verify that Portal Backend’s database upgrade to PostgreSQL 18.x sufficiently covers all persistence used by Portal Frontend.
2. Otherwise please perform needed upgrades accordingly for Portal Frontend (see related parent issue and Portal Backend issue)

Notes

• This sub-task is for tracking and release documentation only.

Hi @typecastcloud could you please assign the task to your team? Can you estimate when we can expect the PostgreSQL upgrade?

Target version in title and description was updated to PostgreSQL 18.x. Intended release milestone was also changed to 26.03.

[ds-hzimmer]

Update: The PostgreSQL update to version 18.x was already performed by some services as a test, but overall will be postponed to Release 26.06. Milestone adapted accordingly

Reasoning: Not all core services will participate in the 26.03 release and test phase with new versions and thus not complete this version update and change of image provider to Cloud Pirates. See discussion in Tractus-X Office Hours meetings Tractus-X Open Meetings (view)

Further details can be discussed in upcoming 26.06 alignment and planning meetings.
