Database upgrade
This operation is not reversible and operates on a live DB. Please ensure a system backup before proceeding.
Before performing the upgrade, make sure that the host is compatible with the latest platform requirements for MongoDB: [https://www.mongodb.com/docs/manual/administration/production-notes/#x86_64](https://www.mongodb.com/docs/manual/administration/production-notes/#x86_64)
This process should not be performed when using an external database, in this case the upgrade should be performed manually following the MongoDB provider documentation.
