29.11. Configuration Settings

wal_level must be set to logical .

max_replication_slots must be set to at least the number of subscriptions expected to connect, plus some reserve for table synchronization.

max_wal_senders should be set to at least the same as max_replication_slots , plus the number of physical replicas that are connected at the same time.

Logical replication walsender is also affected by wal_sender_timeout .

max_replication_slots must be set to at least the number of subscriptions that will be added to the subscriber, plus some reserve for table synchronization.

max_logical_replication_workers must be set to at least the number of subscriptions (for leader apply workers), plus some reserve for the table synchronization workers and parallel apply workers.

max_worker_processes may need to be adjusted to accommodate for replication workers, at least ( max_logical_replication_workers + 1 ). Note, some extensions and parallel queries also take worker slots from max_worker_processes .

max_sync_workers_per_subscription controls the amount of parallelism of the initial data copy during the subscription initialization or when new tables are added.

max_parallel_apply_workers_per_subscription controls the amount of parallelism for streaming of in-progress transactions with subscription parameter streaming = parallel .

Logical replication workers are also affected by wal_receiver_timeout , wal_receiver_status_interval and wal_retrieve_retry_interval .
