Chapter 5. Deployment Scenarios

Postgres Pro AXE includes, but is not limited to, the following main deployment scenarios:

  • A single server that processes OLAP and OLTP workloads simultaneously without high availability.

  • A cluster in which the primary server processes the OLTP workload and one of the standby servers processes the OLAP workload.

  • A cluster in which the primary server processes the OLTP workload and standby servers process the OLAP workload balanced by proxima.

You can store Parquet files with the OLAP data in a local, network, or S3 storage.

In all deployment scenarios the pgpro_axe and pgpro_metastore extensions are installed on each server processing the OLAP workload.
