Scalegrid

JANUARY 20, 2020

Follower clusters are a ScaleGrid feature that allows you to keep two independent database systems (of the same type) in sync. In this blog post, we will cover the top three scenarios to leverage follower clusters for your application. This helps reduce the load on the source system. Database Dev/Test Setup.

The goal is to simplify the provisioning and management of database capacity. One approach is to separate compute and storage to allow for independent scaling. By separating storage and compute, Neon replaces the PostgreSQL storage layer with data nodes, and compute nodes are distributed across a cluster of nodes.
