Planning your PGD deployment
============================

Planning your EDB Postgres Distributed (PGD) deployment involves
understanding the requirements of your application and the capabilities
of PGD. This section provides an overview of the key considerations for
planning your PGD deployment.

- :ref:`Choosing your deployment pattern: <deployment-patterns>`  Understand the deployment patterns PGD supports and
  choose the one that best fits your requirements.

- :ref:`Choosing a Postgres distribution <Choosing a Postgres distribution>`  Choose the Postgres distribution to deploy with PGD.

- :ref:`Choosing your deployment method <Choosing your deployment method>`  Pick the deployment method that suits your needs.

- :ref:`Comparing replication solutions <Comparing replication solutions>`  A comparison of EDB Postgres Distributed with other
  replication solutions.

- :ref:`Choosing between Physical Streaming Replication (PSR) and EDB Postgres Distributed (PGD) <Choosing between Physical Streaming Replication (PSR) and EDB Postgres Distributed (PGD)>`  Evaluate the trade-offs between standard Postgres
  Streaming Replication and PGD to determine the right high-availability
  solution for your workload.

- :ref:`Other considerations: <production-best-practices>`  Consider other factors that may affect your deployment.
