The Ultimate Guide for Moving Your PostgreSQL Database to the Cloud
For organizations looking to move databases into the cloud, PostgreSQL has long been a powerful ally—flexible, scalable, and dynamic. However, as they look to effectively leverage PostgreSQL and achieve a cloud-native, fully-managed database, they find themselves facing a range of challenges.
6 Critical Considerations for Optimizing Cloud Database Performance
Cloud databases and database-as-a-service (DBaaS) solutions can offer significant advantages over the on-premise databases in terms of agility with which databases can be provisioned in the cloud, savings in terms of capital expenditures, and reduction in IT staff to manage the infrastructure and databases. However, there are new challenges that one must be aware of and ask the right questions before considering the cloud database.
