Release Radar: EDB Open Sources Trusted Postgres Architect (TPA) for High Availability Cluster Deployments

For developers, application architects and DevOps professionals, the complex tasks of deploying and maintaining High Availability (HA) clusters involve decisions that can make or break performance while impacting operational resiliency and data accuracy. To add to this, not all organizations running Postgres are equipped with HA solutions or have the necessary expertise to navigate these complexities.

With the latest release, EDB is open sourcing Trusted Postgres Architect (TPA) to help emerging and experienced Postgres users avoid some of the most common pitfalls in implementing HA clusters. Ease of use, confident automation and simplified cluster deployment will now be available to all.

This release marks EDB’s latest milestone in its long-standing history as a leading contributor to the open source community, including free training.

In recent years, PostgreSQL has skyrocketed in popularity across industries and established itself as the go-to database for innovation leaders. Postgres is the database technology of choice among database administrators, developers, architects, and IT leaders, and the Stack Overflow Developer Survey 2023 confirms it. One of PostgreSQL’s greatest strengths is that it is community driven.
