PostgreSQL is an open-source, versatile, and most popular database system around the world. However, it does not have any features for high availability.
Enter Patroni. Patroni is a cluster manager tool used for customizing and automating deployment and maintenance of high availability PostgreSQL clusters. It is written in Python and uses etcd, Consul, and ZooKeeper as a distributed configuration store for maximum accessibility. In addition, Patroni is capable of handling database replication, backup, and restoration configurations.
