Google is your friend.  Searching for "postgresql dblink" and "postgresql
fdw" take you right to the documentation:
https://www.postgresql.org/docs/15/dblink.html
https://www.postgresql.org/docs/current/postgres-fdw.html

DB Link is much older, while FDW has better syntax and is usually faster:
"
The functionality provided by this module overlaps substantially with the
functionality of the olderdblink
<https://www.postgresql.org/docs/current/dblink.html>module.
But|postgres_fdw|provides more transparent and standards-compliant syntax
for accessing remote tables, and can give better performance in many cases.
