pgEdge, Inc., the leading company dedicated to distributed Postgres, is unveiling the Constellation release of the pgEdge Platform. pgEdge’s v24.7 of its platform brings a variety of advancements in Postgres logical replication, making pgEdge a suitable open source distributed PostgreSQL alternative for legacy database workloads that need multi-master capabilities, according to the company.
This latest release affirms pgEdge’s place as the only fully distributed PostgreSQL solution that is both open and completely based on the standard PostgreSQL database, according to the company. Paired with its multi-master replications that run across geographic regions, pgEdge ensures low latency and ultra-high availability.
"We are excited to announce the latest version of pgEdge Platform built on open standard-based PostgreSQL,” said Phillip Merrick, co-founder and CEO of pgEdge. "With these new features and enhancements, we continue our commitment to advance distributed PostgreSQL capabilities within the community as well as make it easier to deliver applications that are always available and always responsive.”
pgEdge Platform v24.7 delivers several new features, building on its collaborations with customers, partners, and community alike. These key capabilities include:
- Large object logical replication (LOLOR), a PostgreSQL extension that makes large objects compatible with logical replication, ensuring compatibility with a multitude of existing applications that store media assets and other large files in PostgreSQL
- Replication exception handling and logging that delivers a robust, user-friendly experience for managing replication with a new exception log table as well as graceful error handling that manages unexpected replication errors without interrupting system operation
- Replication repair mode, which can be easily enabled or disabled by the user, offering increased control over replication in a distributed PostgreSQL cluster while preventing unwanted replication changes during error resolution or modification of a single database node
- Automatic replication of DDL commands, enabling developers to update the database schema on a single node and have these changes persisted to other nodes in the cluster
- Integrated Snowflake sequences in Postgres extensions, easing the management of sequences in distributed PostgreSQL multi-master replication scenarios and enabling users to maintain unique sequence numbers across different regions, eliminating conflicts and improving scalability
In Q4 of this year, pgEdge is planning to introduce Parallel Replication features, which increases replication throughput in high-traffic, cross-region OLTP workloads by utilizing multiple replication slots to enable parallel replication processing within a distributed PostgreSQL cluster, according to the company.
