Database Replication: a Tale of Research across Communities

Summary: Survey of Postgres-R and its cross-community roots for scalable, strongly consistent replication. It traces a decade of techniques—from log shipping and targeted locking to ordered group communication—and their evolution toward cloud elasticity. (summarized by gpt-5-nano on Feb 09 2026)
