It is feature-rich and also eases the job of the database administrator (DBA). However, it’s not a full fledged high availability management tool since it will not manage the resources. Manual intervention is required to ensure the resource is in proper state. #3 REPMGR PostgreSQL Automatic Failover provides several advantages in handling PostgreSQL high availability. PAF uses IP address failover instead of rebooting the standby to connect to the new master during a failover event, proving advantageous in scenarios where a user does not want to restart the standby nodes. PAF also needs very little manual intervention and manages the overall health of all the resources. The only case where manual intervention is a requirement is in the event of a timeline divergence where the user can elect to use pg_rewind. #2 PAF Patroni is a valuable tool for PostgreSQL database administrators (DBAs), as it performs end-to-end setup and monitoring of a PostgreSQL cluster. The flexibility of choosing DCS and standby creation is an advantage to the end user, as they can choose the method they are comfortable with. REST APIs, HaProxy integration, Watchdog support, callbacks and its feature-rich management makes Patroni the best solution for PostgreSQL HA management. #1 PATRONI What’s the best high availability framework for PostgreSQL?
