A practical walkthrough of setting up a physical streaming replica: primary configuration, pg_basebackup, replication slots, and how to verify the standby is actually caught up.
Read MoreUnlike physical replication, logical replication copies individual tables and works across major versions — making it the standard tool for zero-downtime upgrades and selective data distribution.
Read MoreReplication slots stop the primary from discarding WAL a standby still needs. They prevent broken replicas — and, when forgotten, they are the single most common cause of a full pg_wal partition.
Read MoreMost PostgreSQL monitoring tools only show "replication is working." PG Monitoring identifies lag bottlenecks, predicts failures, and tells you exactly which standby needs attention.
Read MoreTraditional PostgreSQL monitoring tools like pg_stat_statements, pgBadger, and pgWatch2 provide basic visibility but miss the bigger picture. They show you what happened, but not why. They alert when problems occur, but can't predict them.
PG Monitoring combines real-time metrics, AI-powered analysis, and predictive anomaly detection to give you complete database intelligence. From replication lag prediction to automated index recommendations, we solve the problems that keep DBAs awake at night.
Our blog explores real-world PostgreSQL challenges and demonstrates how PG Monitoring outperforms traditional tools in replication monitoring, query performance optimization, security auditing, and multi-instance management.
