postgresql_cluster VS pigsty

Creating a robust and reliable database cluster is often fraught with challenges.A manual deployment process can be fraught with risks, particularly for those who lack extensive experience. Even minor errors in configuration can drastically affect your database's performance and stability.

Recognizing this intricacy, many businesses choose to use cloud-based managed databases. These services offer convenience but not without limitations. These drawbacks can include being tied to a specific cloud provider and limited direct access to the database server for adjustments. These constraints can hinder your ability to tune your system and perform thorough performance analyses.

In response to these challenges, we've developed a project to make this process easier and more efficient. This project uses automation to streamline the deployment of High-Availability PostgreSQL Clusters. By doing so, it helps mitigate the risks involved with manual configuration and speeds up the deployment process.

Our solution caters to various deployment environments. It allows you to establish your cluster either in your own data center or in the cloud, providing a robust database solution similar to managed databases, but with you retaining full control.

HA postgres

If not Kubernetes, check out this: https://github.com/vitabaks/postgresql_cluster – Postgres + patroni + pgBouncer + WAL-G or pgBackRest + Netdata + more, managed by Ansible.

If you do want to use Kubernetes, then check out StackGres.io and https://github.com/zalando/postgres-operator

Also check PostgreSQL High-Availability Cluster (based on "Patroni" and "DCS(etcd)"). Automating deployment with Ansible.

And the only extension activated (`CREATE EXTENSION`) by default is pg_repack.

The AGPLv3 is infected by the Grafana, MinIO and citus.

I'm Vonng, the author of Pigsty and a PostgreSQL DBA of a large deployment (25K cores, 1PB TP data). Pigsty alleviates my pain of managing such a massive elephant in production.

It works well for us, and I'm glad to make it open-source. Since cloud RDS PostgreSQL are so expensive, sometimes it charges 10x compared to underlying EC2 and storage. An open-source alternative could help.

I'm happy to answer any questions about Pigsty ;)
