Stolon is a cloud-native PostgreSQL high-availability manager written in Go. It orchestrates PostgreSQL clusters with streaming replication, leader election via etcd/consul/Kubernetes, and integrates with Kubernetes for containerized deployments.

Use cases

• run a highly available PostgreSQL cluster on Kubernetes
• automate PostgreSQL failover with consistency guarantees
• set up synchronous replication for PostgreSQL
• perform point-in-time recovery for PostgreSQL
• create a standby PostgreSQL cluster for disaster recovery
• migrate a PostgreSQL cluster with near zero downtime
• manage PostgreSQL replication across multiple sites

When to choose

• you need PostgreSQL HA on Kubernetes or other cloud infrastructure
• you prefer consistency over availability during network partitions
• you want automatic failover, service discovery, and dynamic reconfiguration
• you need standby clusters or point-in-time recovery

When to avoid

• you run PostgreSQL on a single node without HA requirements
• you prefer a managed database service instead of self-managed replication
• you need a different database engine than PostgreSQL
• you want a fully hands-off solution without operating etcd/consul or the stolon components
