← SteadyOps PostgreSQL HA / DR

PostgreSQL HA review focused on practical recovery confidence.

I review replication, backups, WAL archive, failover ownership, restore evidence, and operational runbooks so your PostgreSQL setup is easier to trust.

What I check first

Replication and failover path

Replication topology, lag behavior, promotion process, connection routing, HAProxy or equivalent routing, and the ownership model around failover.

Backup and restore proof

Retention, access, restore procedure, restore duration, validation steps, and evidence that recovery has been tested.

RPO/RTO and runbooks

Recovery assumptions, incident steps, monitoring signals, and operational notes that can be reused by the team.

Best fit

PostgreSQL-backed SaaS or web apps

Products where one database path creates business risk or uncertainty around customer-impacting incidents.

Teams with backups but no restore drill

Teams that have backup jobs but cannot confidently explain how long recovery takes or what happens during failover.

Start with a PostgreSQL HA review when failover, recovery time, or restore confidence is a serious production concern.
