Why PostgreSQL High Availability Matters and How to Achieve It

Ensuring your application can handle failures and outages is crucial, and the availability of your application is only as good as the availability of your PostgreSQL instance.

Expected performance of a Bloom filter

A Bloom filter is a standard data structure in computer science to approximate a set. Basically, you start with a large array of bits, all initialized at zero. Each time you want to add an element to the set, you compute k different hash values and you set the bits at the k corresponding locations to one.
