Hello @laurenmcmanamon ,

 

At around 30:50 in the podcast, you asked to your colleague "How Developer can check if the database is migrated to RaptorDB ?".

Answer was more or less "there is no message shown in the banner or other way to alert customer or developer".

 

I found this post on LinkedIn from @Maik Skoddow 6 months ago :

https://www.linkedin.com/posts/benjamin-broch-043b91101_how-to-know-if-you-are-already-on-raptordb-a...

 

So we can apparently check this : https://yourinstancename.service-now.com/replication.do

Is it still a good tip from Maik ?
