PostgreSQL is fast becoming the default database for cloud-native applications. However, despite its advantages, PostgreSQL is designed for single-server deployments.
The only way to scale PostgreSQL is by adding resources to the server it is deployed on. This can result in scaling limits, rising costs, and downtime.
What's the solution?
Distributed PostgreSQL, which allows you to scale the capacity, number of connections, and throughput of PostgreSQL.
Check out our infographic to understand different approaches to scale Postgres by distributing it.
- Multi-master asynchronous replication
- Multi-master sharded Postgres with a coordinator
- Multi-master shared-nothing Postgres
