How I designed PostgreSQL High Availability with Shaun Thomas from Tembo

Welcome to this week's episode of Simplyblock's Cloud Commute podcast! Host Chris Engelbert sits down with Shaun Thomas, affectionately known as "Mr. High Availability" in the Postgres community, to discuss his journey from a standard DBA to a leading expert in high availability solutions for Postgres databases.

In this episode of Cloud Commute, Chris and Shaun discuss:

• The evolution of high availability (HA) in Postgres and the challenges of implementation
• The rise of cloud-native Postgres and the role of Kubernetes in high availability
• Tembo’s open-source contributions to Postgres, including PGXN and extensions like pg_vectorize
• The future of Postgres with AI and vectorized searches using pgvector
