This article takes a deep dive through a complex outage in the main database cluster of a payments company. We’ll focus on the aftermath of the incident – the process of understanding what went wrong, recreating the outage in a test cluster, and coming up with a way to stop it from happening again, and dive deep into the internals of Postgres, and learn about how it stores data on disk.
