The new disaster recovery features, integrated into the EDB Postgres AI platform, allow organizations to maintain current recovery environments across on-premises, cloud, or hybrid infrastructure. By utilizing open-source Barman and Postgres write-ahead logs, the system coordinates recovery across distributed clusters without requiring an overhaul of existing application architectures.

EDB Cuts WarehousePG Recovery Time from Days to Minutes
For financial institutions and regulated enterprises, a warehouse outage is no longer just a reporting delay but a significant operational risk. EnterpriseDB is addressing this challenge by launching disaster recovery capabilities for WarehousePG, enabling firms to restore petabyte-scale analytical clusters in minutes rather than days.
In a recent banking deployment, the technology reduced recovery times from nearly two days to 16 minutes. Beyond speed, the update cuts full backup times by 75% and significantly lowers query lock contention. Max Romanenko, chief engineering officer at EDB, noted that the upgrade transforms disaster recovery from a best-effort exercise into a predictable, testable capability. The update, arriving in September via the WarehousePG Enterprise Manager, provides teams with granular control over restore points and infrastructure placement, ensuring that data sovereignty remains intact during a site-level failure.
