2026-02-14 Rolling Upgrade of CouchDB Nodes
This changelog outlines the steps for a rolling upgrade of CouchDB nodes.
The upgrade must be performed in two stages:
-
Upgrade from 3.3.x to 3.4.3
-
Upgrade from 3.4.3 to 3.5.0
The rolling upgrade process remains the same for both stages. The only difference is updating the couchdb_version variable in environments//public.yml.

Each change includes manual steps for you to follow to apply changes to your environment configuration or infrastructure that will allow you to be on the latest versions of commcare-cloud and commcare-hq.
Inside the instructions for applying the maintenance for each change, it will tell you whether there are any environments it may not be necessary for. When in doubt, apply the steps for every change.
