Replication
Database Replication
Definition
Replication copies data from a primary database to one or more replicas, providing high availability and read scalability. Synchronous replication guarantees no data loss but adds write latency; asynchronous replication is faster but allows replicas to lag.
Logical replication (row-level changes) and physical replication (WAL streaming) are the two main modes in PostgreSQL.
Can this ship? Are we exposed? Can you prove it?
Every CISO is asking these three questions. We answer them with facts, not guesses, from repository to runtime.
