At least the first version of the recording is now up: https://media.ccc.de/v/37c3-11859-operation_triangulation_wh...

spock and pgedge are cool, but they are NOT open source (and they try hard to make it look like they are). It is under the Confluent license (with s/confluent/pgedge/), basically a…

OTOH the PolarDB specific changes seem to be contained enough that if you decide to run it in production, you can probably just apply most of the changes from the v11 branch yourse…

I don't know, maybe you should. CockroachDB seems to be a distributed database system written in Go which has implemented a Postgres query/wire protocol compatibility layer. PolarD…

Looks like it, yeah. Also, Postgres 12 introduced pluggable storage, which might help to implement a shared-nothing architecture without huge changes to vanilla Postgres (I haven't…

But that's also true for e.g. the US and russian presidents, no? Except those actually hold real power. In practise, most german presidents will just be way too old four years afte…

For the record, on Debian unstable: root@pg1:~# LANG=C apt install postgresql-12 Reading package lists... Done [...] 0 upgraded, 32 newly installed, 0 to remove and 0 not upgraded.…

There is a fork/spoon here, which supports 9.4+: https://github.com/credativ/pg_checksums It is also available as a Debian package for the above versions via apt.postgresql.org.

Notably, that feature got written by somebody from Salesforce (I assume on their work time, but not sure), and finished up by a Postgres major contributor. It might be the first ma…

There are no good multi-master solution with a HA focus available for Postgres, at least no open source ones. The patroni project checks most of your other requirements: docker/con…

To the contrary, I think journalists often only get to advise on the headline, and the editors then choose/override one to their liking.

patroni builds upon etcd and (optionally) haproxy, two rather mature pieces of infrastructure (which can both be made HA on their own if SPOFs are to be avoided). I understand wher…

Note that starting from Postgres 10 (which this thread is about), you don't need to adjust wal_level and max_wal_senders (or max_replication_slots, for that matter) anymore. You st…

You can get pg_rewind for 9.4 (and 9.3 in its branch) here: https://github.com/vmware/pg_rewind/tree/REL9_4_STABLE It's from the people who wrote it upstream, they provide the code…

About redirection of write queries to the master, from 10 on, you will be able to specify all members of the cluster in the connection string and demand to connect to the master (l…
