I have 600GB of data with 70K+ photos and videos in Immich.

I have been using it for some time now, and none of the "breaking changes" broke anything because they have excellent release notes.

Worst case - you can restore your postgre backup (which you make, right?) and try again, reading release notes. I make backups and I read release notes, luckily didn't need to do a restore yet.

That sounds pretty horrible tbh. Yeah you should make backups and read release note but if the software regularly needs some manual action then that becomes tiring pretty quickly when you host enough different services. Backups and manual intervention for upgrades should be for exceptional cases.

I have 5TB with a few hundred thousand pics in immich, and unfortunately opening the mobile app is slow (it loads some state from the server and that takes forever...)
