Mastering PostgreSQL in the Cloud

PostgreSQL is no longer just a database; it is the backbone of modern, intelligent applications. This book shows you how to take PostgreSQL to the next level by combining advanced database techniques with AI-driven automation and multi-cloud strategies. You will learn how to deploy PostgreSQL across AWS, Azure, and Google Cloud, implement serverless and Kubernetes-based architectures, and design for high availability, disaster recovery, and multi-region resilience. Along the way, you will explore how AI can support query optimization, anomaly detection, observability, and real-time analytics. The book also covers pgvector for semantic search, Retrieval-Augmented Generation, or RAG, for intelligent data retrieval, and in-database machine learning using PGML. Security and compliance are addressed through practical coverage of Zero Trust models, IAM federation, and AI-enhanced threat detection. Hands-on labs, AMIs, and templates help you apply these techniques in real-world environments, from cloud-native deployments to enterprise-scale PostgreSQL operations. By the end of the book, you will have the skills to design, secure, automate, and optimize intelligent PostgreSQL systems for the AI era.
