This isn't as bad as it sounds As someone who has done this multiple times in the past I have to disagree. Yes, it is very much as bad as it sounds and a big pain point with Postgresql in general and RDS in particular. For small databases it may be considered a mere nuisance. But when your pg_dump takes an hour to complete then the whole "final sync and cutover" becomes a real problem.
