Yoke is a Postgres high-availability cluster manager written in Go that provides automatic failover and automated cluster recovery across a three-node primary/secondary/monitor setup. It manages Postgres as a child process, syncs data between nodes via rsync over SSH, and supports virtual IP and role-change hooks.

Use cases

• run a highly available postgres cluster with automatic failover
• automatically recover a postgres cluster after node failure
• manage postgres primary/secondary replication with a monitor node
• assign a virtual IP that follows the postgres master
• run custom scripts when a node's postgres role changes
• introspect cluster node status from the command line

When to choose

• you need a simple self-managed postgres HA cluster on bare servers with ssh and rsync
• you want automatic failover without an external orchestrator like Patroni
• you're already in the Nanobox/NanoPack ecosystem

When to avoid

• you need actively maintained software - the last release was in 2016
• you want Kubernetes or cloud-native postgres HA (use Patroni, Stolon, or CloudNativePG)
• you need more than a 3-node primary/secondary/monitor topology
• you can't run postgres as a child process managed by yoke
