A word of caution. If you use Postgres streaming replication in
synchronous mode you must have at least 2 slaves since a write in
this mode requires minimum 2 commits to finish so if you only have one
slave then your cluster will hang if the slave or the master is down
which effectively means you have a single point of failure. Adding an
extra slave makes you resilient to one node down.
