+## Upgrading without downtime
+
+Starting with GitLab 9.1.0 it's possible to upgrade to a newer major, minor, or patch version of GitLab
+without having to take your GitLab instance offline. However, for this to work
+there are the following requirements:
+
+1. You can only upgrade 1 minor release at a time. So from 9.1 to 9.2, not to 9.3.
+2. You have to be on the most recent patch release. For example, if 9.1.15 is the last
+ release of 9.1 then you can safely upgrade from that version to any 9.2.x version.
+ However, if you are running 9.1.14 you first need to upgrade to 9.1.15.
+2. You have to use [post-deployment
+ migrations](../development/post_deployment_migrations.md).
+3. You are using PostgreSQL. If you are using MySQL please look at the release post to see if downtime is required.
