Overview

Mastering PostgreSQL 18 for Distributed Systems and Cloud Scaling What if your database could handle millions of transactions per second, without downtime, lock contention, or fragile tuning experiments? PostgreSQL 18 isn't just another release; it's a redesign of how databases think about performance, resilience, and scale in the cloud. Mastering PostgreSQL 18 for Distributed Systems and Cloud Scaling shows you exactly how to build systems that don't just survive under pressure, they accelerate. At its core, this book is a hands-on playbook for engineers and architects who operate high-throughput, low-latency applications. You'll learn how to transform PostgreSQL 18 into a distributed, cloud-native powerhouse capable of serving global workloads with confidence and clarity. Inside, you'll discover how to: Harness asynchronous I/O (AIO) and io_uring to triple throughput on modern NVMe and cloud volumes. Implement zero-downtime migrations with logical DDL replication and intelligent fallback strategies. Design multi-region, high-availability architectures using native logical replication, WAL streaming, and pgBackRest. Optimize performance end-to-end-from kernel-level I/O tuning and parallel execution to adaptive query planning and partitioning. Automate observability and recovery with Prometheus, Grafana, and reproducible monitoring workflows. Harden your database using PostgreSQL 18's modern authentication, TLS 1.3, and encryption features for compliance-ready deployments. Each chapter is built on reproducible experiments, real-world benchmarks, and field-tested configurations, no vague ""best practices,"" only proven methods that scale. Whether you're preparing for live migrations, tuning OLTP performance, or designing disaster-proof architectures, every technique is shown with measurable outcomes you can replicate in your own environment. If you're responsible for performance, uptime, or scaling PostgreSQL in the cloud, this book gives you the operational edge you've been missing. Build faster. Scale smarter. Operate with confidence.
