Automatic Tools For High Availability in Postgresql: Camilo Andrés Echeverri

This document discusses tools for achieving high availability in PostgreSQL databases. It defines high availability as systems that are durable and able to operate continuously without failure for long periods of time through redundant components. The document outlines that PostgreSQL has options for high availability within its own configuration, through application backends like pg-pool, and cloud database services. It provides advantages like continuous uptime but also disadvantages like high costs. Finally, it includes a diagram of how pg-pool can balance loads across multiple PostgreSQL servers.

university of California.
• Runs in Linux, windows and mac.
High availability
What’s it?

“High availability refers to systems that are


durable and likely to operate continuously
without failure for a long time. The term implies
that parts of a system have been fully tested and,
in many cases, that there are accommodations
for failure in the form of redundant components.”

here are scenarios where it could be helpful: • High money cost for

• Sinister Restoration • High computer cost.
• Backup window reduction • With active/passive there is a time
• Balanced load distribution lost lapse to switch to passive

PostgreSQL Pg-pool diagram

PostgreSQL has three different option to


get HA. The first one its by itself, with
some configuration in the database you
can get replication from one db server to
one another. The second option you have
its from you application backend, in the
case of Nodejs you can use pg-pool or
PgPool-II. And last, but not least, cloud db
services like Google or amazon ofert. Get from: https://hackernoon.com/postgresql-connection-pooling-and-load-balancing-with-
