SSH Tunneling for Secure Postgres Replication

What's this blog post about?

PeerDB uses SSH Tunneling for securely connecting and replicating data from Postgres databases to various targets such as Data Warehouses, Queues, and Storage. SSH Tunneling is a method that creates a protected pathway for data transmission over unsecured networks by encrypting the information exchanged. PeerDB leverages this technique to access protected resources securely and cost-effectively while minimizing the need for complex infrastructure. The setup involves configuring a Bastion or JumpBox and setting up firewall rules, after which PeerDB automatically sets up and uses the SSH Tunnel to connect with the protected Postgres database.
