TigerData (Creators of TimescaleDB)

Timescale has released early access to database replication, enabling high availability and fault tolerance. Replicas in Timescale act as duplicates of the main database and can be used to scale read workloads and isolate the primary database for writes. Users can direct read queries to replicas for improved performance. Timescale automates the setup and management of replicas, making it easy to increase data availability.
