Replication ensures your database remains available, consistent, and resilient—but should you choose synchronous or asynchronous replication? 🤔

In this video, Andrew Redden from Timescale breaks down the key differences:

✔ Synchronous Replication – Guarantees data consistency, but can introduce latency. Ideal for financial systems and mission-critical applications.
✔ Asynchronous Replication – Prioritizes speed and performance but may cause temporary lag. Perfect for high-traffic applications and analytics.

We’ll also cover best practices for replication setups, including high-availability configurations and failover strategies in PostgreSQL.
