EDB is committed to assuring seamless Oracle-to-Postgres transitions for customers, and we recently added support for DBMS_Scheduler extension in our fully managed BigAnimal Postgres cloud database service to enhance these capabilities.

We are excited to announce support for pausing and resuming Postgres database clusters in our fully managed cloud service, EDB BigAnimal. This new functionality allows organizations to save on compute costs by pausing their clusters as necessary without losing their data or configurations.

Our latest EDB BigAnimal release delivers several new options that will help you better monitor the health and activity of your BigAnimal clusters! Monitoring and observability play an essential role for organizations managing high availability (HA) and production database workloads in distributed PostgreSQL environments, because they enable continuous tracking of system health, performance metrics and potential issues, allowing teams to take swift action to prevent or resolve failures that could lead to downtime. To make it simpler for you to track this information, as well as view cluster infrastructure usage and database activity directly, BigAnimal Monitor enables access directly from the BigAnimal portal.
