Impact of Fragmented PostgreSQL Infrastructure on Performance, Scalability, and Security

A fragmented PostgreSQL infrastructure can significantly impact several critical aspects of database management, including performance, scalability, high availability, reliability, and data security. Fragmentation in this context can refer to both data fragmentation (data spread across a database inefficiently) and infrastructure fragmentation (inconsistent configuration or deployment of database components). Understanding the repercussions can help in structuring more cohesive and robust database systems.
