Compression in any database is necessary as it has many advantages, like storage reduction, data transmission time, etc. Storage reduction alone results in significant cost savings, and we can save more data in the same space. By default, MongoDB provides a snappy block compression method for storage and network communication.

Such “torn pages” are corruptions from the database point of view. This is not a problem for PostgreSQL alone; every database software needs to deal with this problem. Individual processes generate WAL records, and latency is very crucial for transactions. This is generally referred to as “ partial page writes ” or “ torn pages.”
