PostgreSQL Replication Skill
Atomic skill for streaming replication
Overview
Production-ready patterns for streaming replication, monitoring, and failover with Patroni.
Prerequisites
- PostgreSQL 16+
- Multiple server nodes
- Network connectivity
Parameters
parameters:
operation:
type: string
required: true
enum: [setup_primary, setup_replica, monitor, failover]
replication_mode:
type: string
enum: [async, sync]
default: async
Quick Reference
Primary Setup
-- postgresql.conf
wal_level = replica
max_wal_senders = 10
max_replication_slots = 10
-- Create replication user
CREATE ROLE replicator WITH REPLICATION LOGIN PASSWORD 'secret';
-- Create slot
SELECT pg_create_physical_replication_slot('replica1');
Replica Setup
pg_basebackup -h primary -D /data -U replicator -v -P -R
Monitor Lag
-- On primary
SELECT client_addr, state,
pg_size_pretty(pg_wal_lsn_diff(sent_lsn, replay_lsn)) as lag
FROM pg_stat_replication;
-- On replica
SELECT pg_is_in_recovery(), pg_last_wal_replay_lsn();

Replication Modes
| Mode | Data Safety | Latency |
|---|---|---|
| async | Possible loss | Low |
| sync | No loss | Higher |
Troubleshooting
| Problem | Cause | Solution |
|---|---|---|
| Lag increasing | Slow replica | Check I/O |
| Slot inactive | Replica down | Drop old slot |
| Failover failed | etcd issue | Check cluster |
