Webinar | Building a Resilient HA Postgres Cluster with Patroni, pgBackRest & LUKS

High availability, reliable backups, and encryption are critical pillars of a resilient Postgres setup. When implemented correctly, they keep your database online, your data protected, and your operations running smoothly, even during failure scenarios.

Semab Tariq, PostgreSQL Consultant at Stormatics, on 28 May 2025, gave a detailed session on how to build a production-ready Postgres cluster using Patroni for HA, pgBackRest for backups, and LUKS for encryption. 

Following topics were covered in the session: 

• How to design a 3-node HA cluster using Patroni, Etcd, and VIPs
• Setting up pgBackRest for full and incremental backups
• Using LUKS to implement encryption for Data at Rest
• Tips for replication lag, failover handling, and backup rotation
• Common architectural pitfalls and how to avoid them
