High Availability & Disaster Recovery of PostgreSQL Databases with EDB and Red Hat OpenShift

Discover how EnterpriseDB (EDB) and Red Hat OpenShift redefine database reliability and scalability in the whitepaper, High Availability & Disaster Recovery of PostgreSQL Databases with EDB and Red Hat OpenShift. This comprehensive guide unveils a cutting-edge reference architecture designed to eliminate single points of failure and ensure seamless operations for business-critical PostgreSQL databases.

Leveraging EDB Postgres for Kubernetes (PG4K), this whitepaper explores a robust integration with Red Hat OpenShift, delivering unparalleled high availability, disaster recovery, and automated failover. With features like synchronous replication, self-healing clusters, and continuous online backups, PG4K transforms PostgreSQL management into a streamlined, cloud-native experience. The paper emphasizes innovative strategies like isolating PostgreSQL workloads with dedicated nodes, trust in PostgreSQL’s replication over traditional storage replication, and advanced configuration techniques to meet stringent RPO and RTO requirements.

Ideal for businesses running microservices, hybrid cloud deployments, or database-as-a-service (DBaaS) models, this guide provides actionable recommendations to optimize database performance, scalability, and resilience. It includes detailed insights into node architecture, best practices for workload distribution, and strategies for achieving zero data loss while ensuring 99.99% uptime.

Whether you are managing on-premises environments, multi-cloud setups, or hybrid infrastructures, this whitepaper is an essential resource for IT leaders, database architects, and DevOps teams aiming to harness the full potential of PostgreSQL on OpenShift.
