Create a PostgreSQL Standby
A clear, step-by-step guide that details the process of creating a PostgreSQL standby server from your primary database. This overview focuses on executing the essential commands to set up replication and ensure high availability, ensuring your standby server is correctly configured for failover scenarios—all without delving into advanced replication configurations or long-term maintenance tasks.
Here's the primary PostgreSQL instance—your central hub of operations.
Next, take a look at the nodes inventory—your comprehensive list of all nodes for this cluster and other PostgreSQL clusters.
When you’re ready to create a new standby node, simply drag the designated button onto the primary instance to initiate the setup process.
Then, enter or validate the required parameters and click "next" to proceed.
Next, provide any additional required information (most fields can be left at their default values). Instantly, a REST API command is generated—your key to automating future standby creation processes with your DEVOPS tool.
Once you’re satisfied with the configuration, press Submit to create the new standby node.
You'll see a status update indicating that the standby node is being created, followed by another update confirming that it was successfully created.
And there you have it—your new standby node is now set up and ready for action!
