Experiencing Rapid App Growth? Discover Three Ways to Scale PostgreSQL.
Our new infographic, 3 Ways to Scale PostgreSQL, reveals how you can evolve PostgreSQL from a single server to a robust, distributed deployment that provides resilience, compliance, and global scale.

PostgreSQL is a relational database designed for single-server deployments. It lacks the capabilities of a distributed database.
A distributed PostgreSQL setup typically takes one of the following three forms:
- Multi-Master Asynchronous Replication
- Multi-Master Sharded PostgreSQL with a Coordinator
- Multi-Master Shared-Nothing PostgreSQL
