for some reason the post I sent yesterday night still did not show up on the mailing lists. I have set up some links on the developers side under http://developer.postgresql.org/~wieck/slony1.html
The concept will be the base for some of my work as a Software Engineer here at Afilias USA INC. in the near future. Afilias is like many of you in need of reliable and performant replication solutions for backup and failover purposes. We started this work a couple of weeks ago by defining the goals and required features for our usage of PostgreSQL.
Slony-I will be the first of 2 distinct replication systems designed with the 24/7 datacenter in mind.
We want to build this system as a community project. The plan was from the beginning to release the product under the BSD license. And we think it is best to start it as such and to ask for suggestions during the design phase already.
I would like to start developing the replication engine itself as soon as possible. And as a PostgreSQL CORE developer I will sure put some of my spare time into this as well. On the other hand there is absolutely no design other than "they mostly call some stored procedures" done for the frontend tools yet, and I think that we need some real good admin tools in the end.
I look forward to your comments.
