EDB Cuts WarehousePG Recovery Time from Days to Minutes

The new disaster recovery features, integrated into the EDB Postgres AI platform, allow organizations to maintain current recovery environments across on-premises, cloud, or hybrid infrastructure. By utilizing open-source Barman and Postgres write-ahead logs, the system coordinates recovery across distributed clusters without requiring an overhaul of existing application architectures.

In a recent banking deployment, the technology reduced recovery times from nearly two days to 16 minutes. Beyond speed, the update cuts full backup times by 75% and significantly lowers query lock contention. Max Romanenko, chief engineering officer at EDB, noted that the upgrade transforms disaster recovery from a best-effort exercise into a predictable, testable capability. The update, arriving in September via the WarehousePG Enterprise Manager, provides teams with granular control over restore points and infrastructure placement, ensuring that data sovereignty remains intact during a site-level failure.
