Replication topology
Choose synchronous/asynchronous behavior, standby roles and network placement according to workload and recovery objectives.
Design replication, failover and recovery around explicit failure modes and RPO/RTO objectives, with runbooks and validation that the receiving team can actually use.
Choose synchronous/asynchronous behavior, standby roles and network placement according to workload and recovery objectives.
Define promotion, fencing, service redirection, former-primary handling and node rejoin so split-brain risk is controlled.
Treat physical/logical backup, retention and restore testing as a separate recovery control—not a substitute for replication.
Track replication lag, WAL, capacity, failed jobs and role state with clear escalation and operating responsibility.
PostgreSQL HA/DR choices depend on recovery objectives, failure domains, write patterns, network characteristics, backup posture and the team’s ability to operate failover safely.
Share the topology, workload, RPO/RTO and current failure concerns. We will help map the architecture and operating controls.
