I'm re-releasing the generalized consensus series one blog at a time for easier ingestion. Today, it will be the first two parts: Defining the Problem and Setting the Requirements. Links in 🧵

@farseen @supabase It replaces Supavisor as well as pgbouncer.

[Sugu Sougoumarane @ssougou]

If a transaction was acknowledged as successful, multigres will guarantee preservation. If you issued a commit and it just timed out, the outcome is unknown. This is the case for a single node postgres also.
IOW, depending on circumstances, that transaction may or may not be preserved.

@glcst Glauber will handle petabases, I'll handle petabytes.

@utkarshships @supabase We rely on 17's sync_replication_slots. So, this won't work for anything before 17.

[Sugu Sougoumarane @ssougou]

@utkarshships @supabase Yes. It carries over.

[Supabase @supabase]

Multigres is now in private alpha: high availability for Supabase Postgres. If your database fails, a standby copy takes over on its own, and data your app already saved is not lost.

Organizations on paid plans can request access.

@themahis @supabase A few seconds. We don't have real-life numbers yet. In our synthetic tests, they were <10s.

[Sugu Sougoumarane @ssougou]

@yash0wtf We're still in the same situation. We don't have the bandwidth to review major contributions. We'll still look at minor PRs if time permits.

This got me good 😂.

It's been a privilege of mine to work with @ATechGirl for many years.

[Phil Eaton @eatonphil]

I chatted with @ATechGirl from @supabase on her 25 years of experience as a developer, her time as the project lead of Vitess, her work on Multigres, and databases at Supabase in general.

No paywall, give it a read.

This is a postgres compatible connection pooler where you're free to interleave connection state altering statements like create temp table, set variables, etc.

[Paul Copplestone - e/postgres @kiwicopple]

in the Postgres ecosystem there are a lot of tools that are "postgres compatible"

one of the design goals for Multigres is compatibility - allowing you to scale up without any trade-offs.

@multigres has now achieved 100% pass-rate on all major Postgres test suites:

@_TylerHillery @supabase Don't get me started.
