How we develop built-in fault tolerance mechanism in Postgres
Traditionally, fault tolerance in Postgres is achieved using built-in replication mechanisms and external utilities that monitor the state of running Postgres instances and react accordingly when various failures occur. In my presentation, I will tell you what we like and what we don’t like about this approach, what alternative we see, what we have been able to achieve to date and what we want to get by the release, which is planned for December.
