Zalando SE, Database Engineer
Alexander is a main contributor to the Patroni project. At Zalando SE he is responsible for creating and maintaining of hundreds PostgreSQL clusters with sizes from a few Megabytes up to 10 Terabytes.
In the modern world, an increasing number of IT companies are moving their resources to the cloud and Zalando is not an exception. A rapid growth our company is experiencing along with an adoption of microservices were the main driving forces behind the changes introduced into the deployment procedure of new PostgreSQL clusters and the solution of the automatic failover problem. The majority of existing solutions for automatic failover require manual configuration of every cluster instance and complicates provisioning new clusters and new nodes into existing cluster.
Patroni is a Python open-source daemon developed by Zalando in cooperation with other contributros on GitHub: https://github.com/zalando/patroni
