Message board

PostgresSolutions has introduced a new, focused 2 day training course centered exclusively on Pgpool-II, the powerful middleware tool for Postgres. This course is designed for administrators who need to quickly gain practical skills in deploying and managing Pgpool-II for enhanced scalability and high availability. The short, intensive format concentrates on core operational tasks, starting with basic installation and configuration for standard single instance Pgpool-II deployments. The curriculum then escalates to cover more advanced, highly avail able setups, providing in depth training on multi node deployments using the Watchdog feature for automatic failover and split brain avoidance. 

Key administrative topics in the curriculum include configuring connection pooling, understanding load balancing modes, and executing essential administrative tasks via the PCP (Pgpool Control Protocol) interface. The emphasis remains on hands on practical application, ensuring attendees are comfortable managing a Pgpool-II instance that provides a consistent, highly available endpoint for client applications, whether they are running a simple replica cluster or a complex multi node setup. This highly specific course aims to give administrators the essential knowledge to deploy and maintain robust, failure-resistant Postgres clusters.
