Hello Experts!
We have a multi tenant model DB with a Primary and a Secondary. There are
3x or 4x connections flowing to Secondary as the application is read
intensive. Accordingly we have allocated more number of resources to the VM
hosting the secondary/replica DB.
Spec:-
Primary: 48 CPUs, 48GB memory
Secondary: 80 CPUs, 128GB memory
PG version: 12.22 (we have already started the upgrade process)
OS: Ubuntu
The problem very frequently we are experiencing is that the CPU load on the
SECONDARY is going very very high causing the app slowness. Also,
frequently the postgres is crashing due to OOM.
I was thinking of these (please give feedback):
1. Have a DB level balancer for the load balancing in the DB level, meaning
primary will also receive the READ traffic
2. Add a second REPLICA and configure load balancer for the connection load
balancing
What do we do for load balancing at the DB level, in postgres?
If there are any suggestions, please let me know.
Regards
Siraj
