Backup and continuous archiving: PostgreSQL asynchronous replication relies on the write-ahead log (WAL) stream, and it’s vital to have centralized storage that all nodes can access. Such a proxy acts as the traffic cop between the applications and the database servers. How does PostgreSQL high availability work?

CrUX generates an overview of performance distributions over time, with traffic collected from Google Chrome users. But account for the different types and usage behaviors of your customers (which Tobias Baldauf called cadence and cohorts ), along with bot traffic and seasonality effects. You can create your own on Chrome UX Dashboard.
