The Future of PostgreSQL Multi-Master Replication
Channel: Postgres Conference
Date: 11/06/2015

Check out http://www.pgconf.us/2015/event/100/ for the full talk details.

The BDR project works on delivering robust, featurefull and fast asynchronous multimaster replication to postgres. UDR shares most of the code and infrastructure with BDR and provides unidirectional logical replication for the cases where multimaster is not required.

We'll discuss:
* What scenarios are good for asynchronous multimaster?
* In which cases won't it work?
* What methods exist to avoid and resolve conflicts?
* Performance!
* What's the relationship with core postgres?
* The Future
