### [<mark style="color:blue;">**Deprecation of**</mark><mark style="color:blue;">**&#x20;**</mark><mark style="color:blue;">**`SYNCHRONOUS`**</mark><mark style="color:blue;">**&#x20;**</mark><mark style="color:blue;">**Replication Mode in PostgreSQL**</mark>](/cloud/databases/postgresql/api/v1-api/modify-cluster-attributes/update-postgresql-replication-mode.md)

{% hint style="success" %}
**March 10**

* PostgreSQL deprecates `SYNCHRONOUS` replication mode for new clusters. Cluster can only use\
  `ASYNCHRONOUS` mode for high throughput and low latency or `STRICTLY_SYNCHRONOUS` mode for data consistency and durability.
* We encourage you to migrate existing clusters to either of these supported replication modes using the [<mark style="color:blue;">API</mark>](/cloud/databases/postgresql/api/v1-api/modify-cluster-attributes/update-postgresql-replication-mode.md).

## Documentation updates

### Improved Documentation Structure for DBaaS [<mark style="color:blue;">MongoDB</mark>](/cloud/databases/mongodb/overview.md) and [<mark style="color:blue;">PostgreSQL</mark>](/cloud/databases/postgresql/overview.md)

{% hint style="success" %}
**March 2**

The documentation for **DBaaS MongoDB** and **DBaaS PostgreSQL** has been restructured to improve navigation and clarity. The following are the structural enhancements:

* API documentation is now organized under a dedicated **API** section for each service with versioned sub-sections `v1`, making it easier to navigate programmatic guides.
* DCD how-to guides are now consolidated under a unified **How-Tos** section for each service.

This documentation is published with GitBook. GitBook is the documentation platform designed so that both humans and AI agents can read, navigate, and reason over technical content effectively. Learn more at gitbook.com.

## Querying This Documentation
If you need additional information that is not directly available in this page, you can query the documentation by asking a question.

Perform an HTTP GET request on the following URL with the `ask` and `goal` query parameters:

```
GET https://docs.ionos.com/cloud/release-notes/previous-releases/2026/march-2026.md?ask=<question>&goal=<user_goal>
```

`ask` is the immediate question: it should be specific, self-contained, and written in natural language.
`goal` is what the user is ultimately trying to achieve, the reason they need the answer. Sharing it helps GitBook give you a better, more relevant answer. A goal is most helpful when it describes the outcome the user wants rather than restating the question. For example, with `ask=how do I create an API token`, a goal like `automate deployments from our CI pipeline` lets GitBook tailor the answer to that use case.

The response will contain a direct answer to the question and relevant excerpts and sources from the documentation.

Use this mechanism when the answer is not explicitly present in the current page, you need clarification or additional context, or you want to retrieve related documentation sections.
