What is PGD Essential?
At the heart of PGD Essential is a bi-directional replication extension for PostgreSQL. By combining three Postgres database instances, using this extension, PGD Essential is able to provide high availability and disaster recovery for your databases.
Why use PGD Essential?
PGD Essential offers a number of benefits over traditional replication solutions. Here are just a few of the reasons why you should consider using PGD Essential:
- High availability: PGD Essential provides automatic failover in the event of a primary database outage, ensuring that your applications remain online and accessible to users.
- Disaster recovery: PGD Essential allows you to easily create a secondary database, local to your primary database to handle database server maintenance and outages. You can then combine that with a third database instance in a different location, providing protection against data loss in the event of a disaster.
- Real-time replication: PGD Essential replicates data between databases in real-time, ensuring that your secondary databases are always up-to-date with the primary.
