Description
Architecture behind pg_hardstorage: The replication protocol
Summary: Ever heard that pg_hardstorage works against managed PostgreSQL? It's true. All because they let libpq and the replication protocol carry the weight. Forget SSH hubbub and shared filesystems. Just one connection and you're set.
Managed PostgreSQL? Works like a charm. RDS Aiven Supabase name it—they support PostgreSQL replication. That's where pg_hardstorage shines while others stumble over archive_commands they can't use and hosts they can't reach.
Security? Not rocket science. Three SQL statements set up a role with privileges tighter than your grandmother's grip on family secrets.
Replication slot is your guardrail. Miss an ACK? No worries—slot's your buffer. Existing dashboards already catch any lagging hiccup.
Dual-stream WAL? Freebie! Store duplicates in one chunk pool. Streams play well without an RPO hitch.
Patroni says jump? Agent says how high?. Milliseconds pass timeline followed too.
Costs? Yeah they exist. Network egress isn't free. Replication slots may bump some limits; outages need attention. For most managed PG that's peanuts.
Kudos to the author at CYBERTEC PostgreSQL. For Postgres geeks this is like finding a unicorn that streams WAL faithfully feeds a CAS pool and doesn't complain about network egress.
