Introducing Dedicated Read Replicas for Postgres

This post introduces dedicated read replicas for Postgres databases, allowing users to create, size, and connect to additional Postgres instances that replicate asynchronously from the primary cluster. This feature addresses use cases such as reducing read latency for globally distributed clients by placing replicas in different regions, and isolating specific workloads (e.g., vector search, analytics) within the same region by configuring individual replicas with distinct instance sizes and disk characteristics.
