Clustercontrol adds PostgreSQL Bi-Directional Logical Replication and Valkey Sentinel v8.0 in latest release

Clustercontrol v2.3.1 is here, packed with powerful new enhancements to simplify database management and ensure high availability across databases. This release introduces PostgreSQL Bi-Directional Logical Replication and expands support for Valkey Sentinel v8.0, an open-source alternative to Redis Sentinel. Let’s dive into the details.

PostgreSQL Bi-Directional Logical Replication: keeping PG clusters in sync

Clustercontrol now supports PostgreSQL Bi-Directional Logical Replication, enabling two-way synchronization between database nodes. Each node can send and receive updates simultaneously, ensuring continuous data flow and cluster health.

Why is this important?

• High availability: Database nodes handle requests independently and remain operational even during failures elsewhere in the cluster, ensuring minimal downtime to your ops.
• Geographic autonomy: Ideal for distributed databases, each region can process updates locally while maintaining synchronization with other locations, improving performance and compliance.
• Operational flexibility: Gain greater control over data replication and distribution, allowing you to optimize and scale based on your business needs.

Key functionality of PostgreSQL Bi-Directional Logical Replication in Clustercontrol:

• Deploy new clusters: Set up and configure PostgreSQL replication clusters in minutes, eliminating complex manual processes and reducing setup time.
• Connect existing clusters: Achieve synchronization between existing PostgreSQL clusters with minimal disruption, ensuring data flow.
• Manage publications and subscriptions: Gain control over which data is replicated and where, improving database management.
• Monitor logical slots: Keep track of replication slots to avoid potential data inconsistencies and maintain smooth operations.

New database support for Valkey Sentinel

With Redis 7.4 shifting to a dual-licensing model under the Redis Source Available License (RSALv2) and the Server Side Public License (SSPLv1), organizations relying on the open-source BSD license now face a significant change.

Already supporting Valkey Cluster, we’ve now introduced support for Valkey Sentinel in ClusterControl — this offers the same HA capabilities as Redis Sentinel, allowing you to deploy, manage, monitor, and scale database clusters in minutes.
