# Managed Postgres HA: high availability + failover + read replicas

Split from `w1/m17` (which ships data-protection + lifecycle + access). Render's Postgres offers `enableHighAvailability`, `failover`/`promote`, and read replicas (`replication`); bex reports `highAvailabilityEnabled: false` today. These need real HA infra — a replicated CNPG cluster, a failover path, and replica endpoints/URLs — a larger, riskier effort than the data-protection / lifecycle / access work in m17.

Promote to a w1 milestone once single-instance data-protection (m17) ships and HA is prioritized.

Source: split from `w1/m17` during the 2026-07-08 w1 reorg (`/pm`); originally part of inbox note `w1/011` (m13 audit). Goal: pillar 1 (Render parity — managed data).
