Re: [EXT] Re: High Availability - Mailing list pgsql-admin

Other options to consider:

 

1. Region 1: AWS Aurora Postgres with 1 writer and 1 reader node. 
2. Region 2: Same as above.
3. Choose a  3^rd party tool or use pg-logical to replicate data between Region 1 and Region 2 so that they are always in sync.
   
   

Please note, your app tier should align with these.

 

Thank you

I think there is no gold-standard HA solution. Some commercial PostgreSQL offer HA as an add-on or standalone product, and they tackle different SPOFs with varying components. If you got the open source way, a good starting point is https://www.postgresql.org/docs/current/high-availability.html

 

Depending on your requirements you may go one route or another. For exemple, it may be ok for you a single pgpool-2 instance, without front Haproxy tier.

 

We tested some of them, and we don’t use any of them so far. In our scenario we can assume some out of office downtime for maintenance tasks.

 

Good luck,

Gabriel
