Exploring Distributed PostgreSQL Architectures

An Overview of Distributed PostgreSQL Architectures | Crunchy Data Blog 🔗

Marco just joined Crunchy Data and he reflects on his career in distributed systems in this post. He provides an overview of several options for approaching distributed Postgres workloads and the pros and cons of each approach.

The text provides an overview of distributed PostgreSQL architectures, discussing the trade-offs and considerations involved in designing and implementing such systems. It covers various distributed PostgreSQL architectures, including single machine PostgreSQL, network-attached block storage, read replicas, DBMS-optimized cloud storage, active-active, transparent sharding, and distributed key-value storage with SQL. Each architecture is evaluated in terms of its pros, cons, and suitability for different types of workloads. The author emphasizes the importance of understanding the trade-offs and choosing the right architecture based on the specific requirements and constraints of the application.
