Hi

We have PG-14 with a huge data set of 14 TB running on r5b.2xlarge. We have
set up WAL archiving and restoring them onto a replica server. The WAL
restore on the replica is very slow and we are not able to achieve the 4
hour delayed replica. It is always behind 30 hrs with the huge WAL
generation.

I have checked the following and they look fine
1. Bottlenecks on the replica server
2. Memory consumption and swap
3. EFS IO throughput
4.checkpoint_completion_target = 0.9
5. wal_buffers = 16MB
6. wal_log_hints = on
7. Verified logs and didn't find anything useful related to the issue

Can you please suggest how to improve the WAL restore performance

Thank you
Madhu Sudan
