Database read replica setup: deciding which workloads move
Database read replica setup begins with deciding which workloads move. Dashboards, exports and heavy reports are good candidates, while anything that must read its own latest write usually stays on the primary. We review your slowest analytical queries, connection patterns and the BI tools involved. Share engine and version, hosting provider and current instance size. Network access and credentials for the replica are set up so analysts connect to a separate endpoint.
Replicas bring their own care points: replication lag, long queries that conflict with replication and storage growth. A careful database read replica setup includes lag alerts, sensible query timeouts and read-only roles for analysts. Indexing for reporting queries is planned carefully, since changes on the primary also reach the replica. If reports still strain the replica, the next step is usually a warehouse rather than more replicas.
In short
- Delivery in 2 to 7 days, by package.

What is included in the Basic Package?
The Basic Package includes: 1 read replica for PostgreSQL or MySQL, BI tool pointed to it. Higher packages add more scope, revisions and support.
Can I get a custom separate reporting database package?
Yes. If none of the packages fits, use the custom package form on our pricing page to describe what you need, and our team sends you a fixed price.
Is replica data always current?
There is small lag, which is monitored.
Can analysts change data on it?
No, it is read-only.
Does it work on managed databases?
Usually, and we confirm your host.
What is the difference between a read replica and a backup?
A replica is a live copy that follows the primary, so a bad delete or corruption can be copied too. A backup is a point-in-time copy you can restore from, and you still need both.
Who owns the final work?
Copyright of the final work passes to you once the order is paid in full. Paid fonts, stock files or licences, if used, are licensed in your name.
