Re: Optimize streaming replication because of network latency

Hello,

We’ve added a streaming standby on a gcp container. There’s a lot of network latency between our primary in EU and this standby in South America.

I did a big update on a table ( 4 millions rows) and it generates a lot of lag : more than 5 hours. 

The standby has great hardware ressources: cpu, ssd disk and had no load during this update.

How could we handle this lag and have less impact, less lag ?

    How effectively fast is the pipe between the two servers?  Where are
    the bottlenecks?  Is the pipe shared by other users?

Basic PG Config:

   shared_buffers = 8GB

   work_mem = 128MB

   max_connections = 600

   wal_keep_segments = 1000

   wal_sender_timeout = 0

   replication_timeout=(not set)

   wal_receiver_status_interval=10s

   max_wal_senders=20

  Checkpoint_timeout = 10min

 Max_wal_size= 2GB

 min_wal_size= 1GB

Thank you

Mai
