Databases are nothing without the data they store. In the event of an outage or technical catastrophe, immediate recovery is essential. This updated edition ensures that you will learn the important concepts related to node architecture design, as well as techniques such as using repmgr for failover automation. From cluster layout and hardware selection to software stacks and horizontal scalability, this PostgreSQL cookbook will help you build a PostgreSQL cluster that will survive crashes, resist data corruption, and grow smoothly with customer demand.You’ll start by understanding how to plan a PostgreSQL database architecture that is resistant to outages and scalable, as it is the scaffolding on which everything rests. With the bedrock established, you'll cover the topics that PostgreSQL database administrators need to know to manage a highly available cluster. This includes configuration, troubleshooting, monitoring and alerting, backups through proxies, failover automation, and other considerations that are essential for a healthy PostgreSQL cluster. Later, you’ll learn to use multi-master replication to maximize server availability. Later chapters will guide you through managing major version upgrades without downtime.By the end of this book, you’ll have learned how to build an efficient and adaptive PostgreSQL 12 database cluster.

诺曼·马内阿 Norman Manea丨 1936年出生于罗马尼亚。纳粹集中营的幸存者。1986年因当时的政治社会环境离开罗马尼亚，先到西柏林，1988年到美国，从此在美国纽约定居，并以执教、写作为生。代表作有《归来》《巢》《黑信封》《法定幸福》《十月，八点钟》等。 马内阿是当今世界被翻译得最多的罗马尼亚作家，诺贝尔文学奖的有力竞争者，与塔赫·米勒并称为罗马尼亚最耀眼的“双子座”。有评论者认为马内阿是比昆德拉更深刻、更纯粹的东欧作家，甚至把他比作卡夫卡的继承者。他的作品不仅被认为是近半个世纪东南欧文学的骄傲，也是当代世界文学罕有的精品，在世界各国获得了许多文学大奖。
