Kubernetes Native Data Service: Scale Up a PostgreSQL Instance | Episode 8

Welcome to part 8 of our anynines video series!

Learn how to horizontally scale a PostgreSQL instance using a8s in this tutorial video. Discover the benefits of increasing replicas for improved availability and even distribution of read loads. Follow along as the presenter demonstrates scaling up a PostgreSQL instance from one to three replicas in a local Kubernetes cluster. The video covers editing the YAML manifest, applying changes, and verifying the results through commands. Learn about asynchronous streaming replication clusters and the role of primary and secondary replicas in enhancing database availability. For a deeper dive into implications and scenarios like primary failure, check out the next video in the series. Master the art of scaling PostgreSQL with a8s for enhanced performance and resilience.
