You can user pgbouncer  + repmgr but pgbouncer is not a load balancer.

 

When repmgr performs failover you can configure the property promote_command
in repmgr.conf and build an script for updating the pgbouncer configuration
with the new master.

 

Repmgr + pgpool would be very usefull when you have more than 2 nodes
because pgpool does not knows how is the best candidate node for promoting
to master.

Hey, thanks for your feedbacks.

 

I do not know about Patroni. I will have a look at it.

 

Could someone confirm me that all features of pgpool (connection pooling +
automatic failover) can be achieve using pgbouncer (connection pooling) +
repmgr (automatic failover) ? Is it not overkill to user repmgr + pgpool ?
Am I missing something ?

 

Robin.

You can use repmgr because it performs automatic failover, promotes a master
mores closer to replica and follows other slaves to new master.

 

 

Then pgpool detects the new master promoted by repmgr.

Asunto: [ADMIN] How do you manage cluster replication and failover ?

 

Hello,

 

We are currently trying to setup a multi hosts databases cluster with goals:
 * replication (no data-loss is "required", replication timing do not needs
to be instant)
 * failover
 * load-balancing (bonus)

 

We tried:
 * synchronious replication (pgpool replication mode) + load-balancing
(pgpool) : very interesing as we can theorically failover on any node at any
moment. But even after several configuraation tweeks, we never succeed
getting good write performance.
 * asynchronious replication (postgres 9.6 streaming replication) : good
write performance, good replication timings (< 1 second for small
transactions). We could loadbalance select requests using pgpool.

 

How do you manage your postgresql clusters ? Do you use pgpool ? pgbouncer ?
other ?
How do you manage to single access point ? usign pgpool ? pgbouncer ?
Do you use streaming replication ? WAL archiving ? How do you handle to
automatic failover ?

 

Robin
