I am currently helping out a friend to set up a postgres database for his startup. I have some postgres experience, but not so much with clusters/slony Someone is suggesting a HA solution, and I do not have the time to wrap my head around it right know, not to mention support. Does anyone have a suggestion for a host that offers turnkey solutions for clustered postgres hosting? Our current provider answered my questions that they had heard of a client "who did this once". They had no idea what slony means. So I am not feeling so warm and fuzzy about them. Thank you in advance for any pointers! -- Kind Regards Matthias ^ permalink raw reply [nested|flat] 2+ messages in thread

Are you using clustering for redundancy or for sharding/scaling? For redundancy, the current built-in replication is the easiest to set up with no add-ons needed. You may find it very beneficial to engage a PostgreSQL-savvy consultant or firm who has encountered your use-pattern and can guide you. > > Does anyone have a suggestion for a host that offers turnkey solutions > for clustered postgres hosting? You might see what Heroku offers: https://postgres.heroku.com/ I haven't used them as we run all our own servers but they have been kind hosts for our users-group in SF. > Our current provider answered my questions that they had heard of a > client "who did this once".
