Nov 1, 2024

Month: 2024-11. This period focused on delivering high-value improvements to the pgEdge CLI with a strong emphasis on High Availability (HA). Implemented a consolidated HA feature set by refactoring cluster management and introducing distributed coordination using etcd and Patroni, substantially boosting robustness and scalability of pgEdge clusters in HA scenarios. Improved JSON validation within HA workflows to prevent misconfigurations and enable safer deployments. Ultra-HA refinements included updating the Patroni script path and implementing more resilient etcd health-check wait handling, reducing recovery time and operational risk.
