High Availability
High Availability for PostgreSQL
Database downtime can lead to painful losses in revenue and reputation. EDB enhances PostgreSQL with tools to maintain High Availability (HA).
How does PostgreSQL support High Availability?
PostgreSQL has built-in features to ensure business continuity
Eliminate single points of failure
Multiple, synchronized copies of your primary database allows for manual switching over to a standby
Handles peak loads
Increases database responsiveness by using load balancers to distribute database queries
Connect multiple applications to one database
Maintains performance with connection pooling—sharing connections and reducing the number of new connections
