PostgreSQL high availability

The multi-master architecture of pgEdge inherently supports high availability and load balancing in a simple and straightforward fashion. If one or more nodes go down traffic immediately fails over to the remaining active nodes. There are no delays or lost transactions while previously passive nodes take a vote to decide on a new single active node. With pgEdge, disaster recovery and failover are built in, and easy to architect for and deploy. Unlike other high-availability solutions, pgEdge makes it much easier to support failover between cloud regions. For certain critical applications, saying, “Sorry, but our cloud provider’s Eastern region is down,” is simply not acceptable. And the best part: zero downtime for maintenance!

For many companies implementing cross region or even cross cloud failover has been prohibitively difficult and expensive due to monolithic database architectures. pgEdge Distributed PostgreSQL takes the complexity out of implementing cross-region and cross-cloud failover strategies.
