# How do you handle FME Platform upgrades without slowing down ongoing transformations?

FME Platform has been great for everyday data conversion and creation, especially with the huge range of input and output formats, flexible transformers for GIS operations, and the visual preview to track transformation progress. The biggest challenge for me is upgrades: side-by-side installs help, but in-place upgrades are not an option, transformer upgrades take time, and FME Flow upgrades still do not feel reliable enough. How are others planning and validating upgrades to reduce risk and downtime while keeping workflows moving?
