Postgres doesn’t support active-active replication natively. As of this writing, we have to rely on 3rd party tools. I decided to go with [BDR] (https://www.2ndquadrant.com/en/resources/postgres-bdr-2ndquadrant/).

I didn’t want to spin up multiple VMs. So, the obvious choice is docker. Make sure you have docker on mac & docker compose.

Step1: Running 2 Postgres instances using docker container

Thanks to [jgiannuzzi] (https://github.com/jgiannuzzi), who created a docker [image] (https://hub.docker.com/r/jgiannuzzi/postgres-bdr) with Postgres and BDR.
