The built-in replication may be good - but it's pretty new. Replication slots, which are IMO vital for making the built-in replication non-fragile, only arrived in 9.4, which is pretty recent of a release. I wonder how widely tested it is, given that? How many people are actually using it for large workloads?
Citrus I hadn't heard of though - that's interesting, thanks.
- dmichulke 10y ago> only arrived in 9.4, which is pretty recent of a release. Release Date: 2014-12-18 (from https://www.postgresql.org/docs/9.4/static/release-9-4.html https://www.postgresql.org/docs/9.4/static/release-9-4.html) Two years do surely not confer the status of "battle-tested" but I wouldn't call it "recent" either. Then again, DB service level and a standard application service level might differ by a few nines/sigma here. Is it that what you're referring to?
- jfindley 10y agoOkay, it's less recent than I remembered (how time flies!). Still, users are typically fairly slow to update their DB software, so I suspect 9.4 is still a pretty small percentage of the installed base at this point.
