PostgreSQL will finally come (replication) batteries included

with 2 comments

Personally I’d say this is about 4 years overdue. While there are replication options for PostgreSQL, no one seems to particularly care. The lack of simple built in replication is the second most common reason I see for MySQL adoption over PostgreSQL. The most common is speed, despite results that seem to indicate that the two are roughly at parity.

I think this is a great move that will really boost PostgreSQL adoption.
