+# ADR 001 - How we migrate Router/Router-API from Mongo to Postgres
+
+## Context
+
+We need to migrate router (and [router-api](https://github.com/alphagov/router-api)) off of MongoDB as its datastore. The majority of GOV.UK platform is on PosgreSQL and there is no longer a strong enough case for being on MongoDB for router data.
+
+Even the [content-store is migrating from MongoDB to PostgreSQL](https://github.com/alphagov/govuk-rfcs/pull/158).
+
+This ADR is to outline our decisions and rationale on the steps we take for that migration:
+
+### The outline
+* Spin up a completely separate stack of router and router-api (govuk-docker first) that will talk to a PostgreSQL db only (as forks)
+* Provision in EKS a new PostgreSQL db
+* Provision the new p-router/p-router-api apps
+* Amend messages to router-api to be duplicated to p-router-api within content-store
+
+### Benefits of doing it this way
+* As updates are being made to the two databases, we can backfill data previous to that point in time without loss of service or downtime to the live (old) service
+* We can test traffic going to the new p-router stack insolation
+* Switchover would mean a change in DNS
+* We can rename p-router once we decommission old router
+
+## Decision
