Unlock More with ClusterControl + PostgreSQL
Deploy PostgreSQL in One Click
Set up streaming or logical replication clusters with integrated HAProxy load balancing or PgBouncer connection pooling.
Monitor Deep Database Health
Track database growth, and performance, replica lag, queries, and node load via real-time Postgres-tailored dashboards and performance advisors.
Backup with Point-in-Time Recovery
Supports pgdump, pg_basebackup, and pgBackRest, incremental backups, PITR, and cloud streaming to S3-compatible storage.
Scale, Failover, & Promote Easily
Add, or reassign replicas smoothly. ClusterControl manages replication setup, failovers, and topology changes with minimal disruption.
Secure PostgreSQL at Scale
Enforce RBAC, LDAP/AD, TLS encryption, certificates management, and audit logging — delivering centralized, enterprise-grade security.
Upgrade & Extend Without Downtime
Perform in-place major version upgrades (from v14) and enable advanced extensions like pgvector.
Supported PostgreSQL Configurations
Supported Distributions
ClusterControl supports open-source PostgreSQL, EnterpriseDB, and TimescaleDB across versions 12 to 18.
Broad engine support: Choose between community PostgreSQL, EDB for enterprise features, or TimescaleDB for time-series workloads.
OS compatibility: Runs on major Linux distributions, including Debian, Ubuntu, RHEL, CentOS, Rocky, and AlmaLinux.
Flexible deployment sources: Deploy from vendor-maintained repositories, PostgreSQL Global Development Group (PGDG) packages, or custom builds.
Version coverage: From long-term supported releases to the latest stable versions.
Replication & High Availability
Streaming (Physical) Replication: The PostgreSQL default: continuous streaming of WAL data from primary to standby servers for high availability and read scaling; supports synchronous or asynchronous modes. ClusterControl automates setup, monitoring, failover, backups, PITR, upgrades, and extension orchestration.
Logical Replication (Including Bi-Directional): Publishes and subscribes to data changes at the table level, enabling flexible replication workflows including bidirectional setups. ClusterControl now supports logical replication and bi-directional synchronization.
ClusterControl supports your entire PostgreSQL lifecycle:
Deploy: Launch streaming or logical replication clusters with load balancers.
Observe: Monitor queries, replication, system metrics, and plugin-level extensions.
Protect: Use WAL-based PITR and encrypted, compressed backups across environments.
Scale: Seamlessly add or reconfigure replicas; manage failovers and promotion without downtime.
Automate: Upgrade PostgreSQL versions, apply extensions, and self-heal automagically.

I have a specific need to create replication replicas quite often and am tired of having to tweak homegrown scripts. How have you solved this?
For creating new replicas, rebuilding, or resyncing, it’s just a click of a button, explained here.
My PostgreSQL install has just been created and had data imported from other sources. Will I have to repeat this for ClusterControl to work?
No. Just import the PostgreSQL instance into ClusterControl, and then you can add replicas as you see fit.
I’m new to PostgreSQL and HAProxy and worried about how to configure both properly. How can I do this safely?
Check out the configurations page that gives you the ability to adjust the pg_hba.conf and postgresql.conf files from the GUI.
