A guide for business of all sizes – startup, medium, large, and globally dispersed enterprises.
These days, high availability (HA) of your business’s services is table stakes, with most reports estimating the average cost of unplanned downtime somewhere in the range of $300,000 – $500,000 per hour.
As a DBA using PostgreSQL, you know the community version doesn’t come with HA support out of the box. You’ve likely cobbled together an assortment of extensions and tools from hundreds of different sources in an effort to meet your HA goals. But how confident are you in this piecemeal approach? Do you worry your database environment is too complex and brittle, or that a failure of your components to work together could undermine your goals?
In this eBook you’ll learn:
- the basics of high availability – what it is, how it’s measured, and more.
- proposed PostgreSQL HA reference architectures for businesses of every size, from startups to enterprises.
- how to pull together open source tools and components that will help you achieve the highest levels of HA on PostgreSQL even as you scale.
