Key Takeaways Multi-cloud involves using services from multiple cloud providers to gain flexibility and reduce vendor lock-in, while hybrid cloud combines private and public cloud resources to balance control and scalability. In this scenario, two notable models – multi-cloud and hybrid cloud have emerged. But what do these entail?

Scalability is a significant concern, as databases must handle growing data volumes and user demands while maintaining peak performance. Vertical scaling is also often discussed, which involves increasing the resources of a single server, which can have limitations in hardware capabilities and become costly as demands grow.

Unfortunately, using certain open source database software as part of an HA architecture can present significant challenges. Downtime due to SPOFs can also be attributed to bottlenecks from architectures designed for applications instead of databases. Despite all its upside, PostgreSQL software presents such challenges.
