Re:Is 20M of rows still a valid soft limit of MySQL table in... by mh- on Monday May 22, 2023 @11:13PM (#36039347)
We keep hot masters (typical MySQL master-master-slave(s) setup) on standby.

Bootstrapping one from scratch (like if we need to stand up a new replica)? We restore a disk image on GCP from point in time snapshots, then let it catch up on replication. So it'll depend on how far behind it is when it comes online.

TLDR: a few hours in the worst case. ~Zero downtime in practice.
