WHAT’S NEW
This update is to announce the maintenance release of EDB Postgres Distributed versions 5.3.0
EDB Postgres Distributed (PGD) provides best-in-class distributed high availability for Postgres applications, which gives you the most robust disaster recovery solution. You get multi-region, always-on architectures, with the ability to have geo-distributed data, meet data sovereignty requirements and improve application performance by housing data closest to where you need it. Plus, you can confidently test new software versions for compatibility and performance with actual data - but without impacting users as you test and then move applications.
Highlights of this 5.3.0 release include:
- Support for PostgreSQL 16 server, EDB Postgres Extended Server 16 and EDB Postgres Advanced Server 16
- In place rolling upgrades from PGD 3.7 to PGD 5.x using Trusted Postgres Architect (TPA) 23.25 are now available
