Building 9’s with PostgreSQL High Availability Features

Semab Tariq explains some of our options:

When you are running mission-critical applications, like online banking, healthcare systems, or global e-commerce platforms, every second of downtime can cost millions and damage your business reputation. That’s why many customers aim for four-nines (99.99%) or five-nines (99.999%) availability for their applications

In this post, we will walk through what those nines really mean and, more importantly, which PostgreSQL cluster setup will get you there.

Read on to see what you can do to get to each 9, as well as some unexpected risks to keep in mind along the way. And, of course, each rung up move up the ladder will generally cost you more money and administrative effort.
