Add multiple read replicas to a Render Postgres database

You can now add up to five read replicas to a Render Postgres database. Previously, each database supported only a single read replica.

This enables you to dramatically increase your volume of database reads without introducing load on your primary instance.

Note the following:

• Each read replica has the same instance type and storage as your primary instance and is billed accordingly.
• Render does not automatically load balance queries across multiple read replicas. Any such load balancing must occur in your application logic.

Learn more about read replicas in the docs.
