The master node has writing permissions while replication is on the slaves nodes which have reading-only permissions. -- The PostgreSQL HA Helm chart deploys a cluster with three nodes by default, one for pgpool, and one master and one slave for PostgreSQL. The PostgreSQL chart configures a cluster with two nodes by default (one master and one slave). +- Both the PostgreSQL HA and the PostgreSQL chart configures a cluster with a primary/replica topology.

The PostgreSQL chart configures a cluster with two nodes by default (one primary and one replica). - The PostgreSQL HA Helm chart uses pgpool to handle the connection to the nodes. pgpool is resposible to spread the queries among nodes. -- The PostgreSQL HA Helm chart includes a repmgr module that ensures high-availability thanks to automatic membership control. If the master is down, any of the slave nodes will be promoted as master to avoid data loss. +- The PostgreSQL HA Helm chart includes a repmgr module that ensures high-availability thanks to automatic membership control.
