1. Introduction to PostgreSQL

PostgreSQL (Postgres for short) is a powerful open source relational database management system developed by PostgreSQL Global Development Group, which supports multiple database types and has the characteristics of high reliability, high performance, flexibility and ease of use.

Key features of Postgres:

1. High reliability: Postgres can run on a single node or distributed nodes, supports multiple backup and recovery strategies, and can ensure data reliability and integrity.

2. High performance: Postgres uses a variety of optimization technologies, including memory management, concurrent processing, index optimization, etc., which can support large-scale data query and operation and provide high performance.

3. Flexibility: Postgres provides a rich function library and built-in functions, supports various data types and data structures, and can support a variety of database types, including relational, non-relational and semi-relational databases.

4. Ease of use: Postgres provides a variety of management tools and command line tools, and supports a graphical interface, which is convenient for users to manage and maintain the database.

2. Download the installation package

Stack Builder is a PostgreSQL tool that helps you quickly create and manage PostgreSQL stacks. It uses Docker technology to run multiple PostgreSQL instances in a single container for high availability and scalability.

Stack Builder provides the following features:

● Create and manage PostgreSQL stacks: Using Stack Builder, you can easily create and manage multiple PostgreSQL instances for high availability and scalability of your database.

● Automatic configuration: Stack Builder can automatically configure PostgreSQL instances to adapt to different environments. It can automatically detect and configure network, firewall and other services.

● Rapid Deployment: Stack Builder can help you quickly deploy PostgreSQL stack, it only takes a few minutes to complete.

● High availability: Stack Builder can run PostgreSQL instances on multiple nodes to achieve high availability. If one node fails, your applications will automatically fail over to the other nodes, ensuring uninterrupted service.
