I’ve started to write about the tool (pglupgrade) that I developed to perform near-zero downtime automated upgrades of PostgreSQL clusters. In this post, I’ll be talking about the tool and discuss its design details. You can check the first part of the series here: Near-Zero Downtime Automated Upgrades of PostgreSQL Clusters in Cloud (Part I). The tool is […]

Near-Zero Downtime Automated Upgrades of PostgreSQL Clusters in Cloud (Part I)

March 23, 2018/5 Comments/in 2ndQuadrant, DevOps, Featured, Gulcin's PlanetPostgreSQL, pglogical, PostgreSQL /by Gulcin Yildirim

Last week, I was at Nordic PGDay 2018 and I had quite a few conversations about the tool that I wrote, namely pglupgrade, to automate PostgreSQL major version upgrades in a replication cluster setup. I was quite happy that it has been heard and some other people in different communities giving talks at meetups and other […]

Last month, I was at 2ndQuadrant booth at P2D2, an annual conference organized in Prague by local user group called CSPUG (Czech and Slovak PostgreSQL User Group). The conference was certainly a huge success and more than 200 people showed up! Meeting a lot of PostgreSQL enthusiasts in town, I wondered why there are no regular meetups […]

Back to the Future Pt. 2: How to use pg_rewind with PostgreSQL 9.5

September 28, 2016/0 Comments/in 2ndQuadrant, Featured, Giuseppe's PlanetPostgreSQL /by 2ndQuadrant Press

In the previous blog article we have seen how pg_rewind works with a simple HA cluster, composed of a master node replicating to a standby. In this context, an eventual switchover involves just two nodes that have to be aligned. But what happens with HA clusters when there are several (also cascading) standbys? Now, consider […]

This is my (very) biased opinion, but I am ready to bet that once you try Barman 2.0 you’ll agree with me.

Back to the Future Pt. 1: Introduction to pg_rewind

September 12, 2016/16 Comments/in 2ndQuadrant, Featured, Giuseppe's PlanetPostgreSQL /by 2ndQuadrant Press

Since PostgreSQL 9.5, pg_rewind has been able to make a former master follow up a promoted standby although, in the meantime, it proceeded with its own timeline. Consider, for instance, the case of a switchover that didn’t work properly. Have you ever experienced a “split brain” during a switchover operation? You know, when the goal […]
