Why You Need a Multi-Cloud and Multi-Region Deployment Strategy for Distributed Postgres

This article discusses the importance of multi-cloud and multi-region deployment strategies for distributed Postgres databases. It highlights that these strategies are essential for data resilience, as they help mitigate risks from physical faults, configuration errors, or software-level faults. Multi-region deployment is effective against physical faults, while multi-cloud deployment helps protect against user error and other issues impacting entire clouds. The article also mentions regulatory reasons for using multi-region architecture, such as geopolitical influences and data retention requirements. It concludes by emphasizing the benefits of choosing a database provider that offers on-click multi-region deploys and provides built-in functionalities like replication, failover, logging, and synchronization mechanisms.
