I read some documents about replication and realized that if you plan on using asynchronous replication, your application should be designed from the outset with that in mind because asynchronous replication is not something that can be easily “added on” after the fact.
Am I right?


Depending on your needs, you may find pgpool and Slony to be a workable combination. This is better when you have a lot of reads and only occasional writes. This way writes get redirected back to the master, and read-only transactions get run on the slaves.


As long as you don't have any functions that write to the db. pgpool could (and likely would) redirect some of these to the subscriber. Slony would prevent the data from being written (which would prevent the subscriber from being corrupted).
