Local deployment: For a local deployment, the target database and Oracle GoldenGate are installed on the same server. No extra consideration is needed for local deployments.

Remote deployment: For a remote deployment, the target database and Oracle GoldenGate are installed on separate servers. Remote deployments are the only option available for supporting cloud databases, such as Azure for PostgreSQL or Amazon Aurora PostgreSQL.

For remote deployments, operating system endianness between the database server and Oracle GoldenGate server needs to be the same.

With remote deployments, low network latency is important, and it is recommended that the network latency between the Oracle GoldenGate server and the target database server be less than 1 millisecond.
