Postgres High Availability: Strategies, Best Practices & Technologies.

High availability Postgres is essential for organizations that depend on uninterrupted access to critical data. This concept encompasses a range of tools, strategies, and configurations designed to ensure that databases remain accessible, even during unexpected failures. On this website, we’ll explore the importance of Postgres HA, the technology enabling it, and best practices to build a robust HA system for your business.

Achieving High Availability

High availability in Postgres refers to the system’s resilience and capacity to keep running without disruption, even when core components fail. This is achieved through redundancy—designing a system where backup components take over if something breaks down. For mission-critical applications, this ensures seamless operations, safeguarding data integrity and minimizing any negative impact on users.

Best Practices

Establishing high availability (HA) in a distributed PostgreSQL setup involves employing various strategies, tools, and best practices. Properly configured HA solutions keep your PostgreSQL database accessible and operational with minimal downtime. Here we define the key components of a resilient HA PostgreSQL environment.
