## AI overview

A personal report from the CHAR(13) conference, held alongside PGDAY UK, describing a presentation on advanced distributed architectures using Streaming Replication, Skytools, and PLproxy. The article emphasizes that replication is a tool rather than an end in itself.

## Source excerpt

Last week was held the CHAR(13) conference in a great venue in the UK countryside. Not only did we discover UK under good weather conditions and some local beers, we also did share a lot of good ideas! *The Hordwood House is quite of a maze really!* The conference was run side to side with PGDAY UK, and those two days were packed with great conferences! I had the pleasure to present a talk about Advanced Distributed Architectures where some examples of architectures using Streaming Replication, Skytools and PLproxy are shown.
