Implementing a highly available and resilient database tier for mission critical applications with PostgreSQL is not a walk in the park, and requires a combination of using the right technologies, defining effective workflows and involve people with the right skills. Those are the ingredients that a cloud vendor like Microsoft is actually baking into a PaaS service like Azure Database for PostgreSQL so that customers can get business continuity out of the box. In this session, we will cover available options and capabilities offered by the service, from local and zone-redundant high availability to multi-region disaster recovery scenarios and requirements. We will also see how new features like Virtual Endpoints and Read Replica's Promote to Primary can be leveraged by architects and app developers to create highly reliable solutions with minimal effort.
