Postgres HA in the Hybrid Cloud, a Look Under the Hood of Implementing Patroni on Multiple Clouds

Patroni has quickly become recognized as the state-of-the art “high-availability” standard for running Postgres in mission-critical enterprises and public clouds. But Patroni is not a fully architected software system, but a template of best practices to implement a highly-available architecture for running Postgres. In this presentation we will share some of the early experiences building on the original Patroni open-source project, key architecture and design advantages over alternative approaches. Building a close relationship with the core Nutanix storage platform, we were able to gain some significant performance improvements and satisfy very stringent requirements in failover time and data protection capabilities. Additionally, we will share some of our recent experiences adopting the recent release of Patroni 2.0 and implementing more advanced capabilities.
