GEOGRAPHICALLY DISTRIBUTED POSTGRES FOR MULTI-TENANT APPLICATIONS

This article describes a pattern for geographically distributing PostgreSQL databases for multi-tenant applications using only standard PostgreSQL functionality. The pattern involves separating per-tenant data from control plane data, placing tenant data in the nearest region, creating a global view using Foreign Data Wrappers, and partitioning, while keeping authentication and control plane data centralized. This approach lowers latencies, complies with data residency laws, and allows edge computing while maintaining most PostgreSQL features and ACID guarantees within tenants.
