Percona has launched the Percona Distribution for PostgreSQL, based on version 11.5, aimed at enhancing support for open-source databases. This distribution supports both cloud and on-premises deployments and will be officially launched at Percona Live Europe from September 30 to October 2. Key features include:
- pg_repack: Allows rebuilding of database objects without table locks.
- pgaudit: Provides session and object audit logging for compliance.
- pgBackRest: A backup tool that scales for large workloads and uses streaming compression.
- Patroni: A high availability solution for production deployments.
The distribution includes various extensions supported by the PostgreSQL Global Development Group and signifies a commitment to enterprise-level support for open-source database instances. Percona Monitoring and Management will now also support PostgreSQL.
