patroni VS postbird

> I think etcd is basically a k8s only project now

I hate etcd with the best of them, but etcd is used in a lot more places than just kubernetes:

https://github.com/apache/apisix/blob/master/docs/en/latest/...

https://github.com/traefik/traefik#:~:text=Etcd,

https://github.com/zalando/patroni#patroni-a-template-for-po...

https://github.com/purpleidea/mgmt/tree/0.0.26/etcd (this one shows up on HN quite a bit)

https://github.com/sorintlab/stolon#features

It's actually one of the major reasons I wouldn't touch those projects

Citus doesn't provide fault tolerance. Each shard is a monolithic PostgreSQL. To reduce downtime on failures, you can protect each shard with a standby database. As this is a complex configuration, Patroni can help. For this lab I'll use the Citus+Patroni docker-compose-citus.yml from https://github.com/zalando/patroni.git:

We have been using stolon + consul for years without issue in our swarm environments. It may also be possible with patroni.

one of the solutions which made it pretty simple for us to run postgresql in a ha environment (mostly in k8s, but works standalone as well) is zalandos patroni: https://github.com/zalando/patroni it's really solid and worked for us for a few years already.

or for k8s their operator: https://github.com/zalando/postgres-operator (docker image: https://github.com/zalando/spilo) we've also tried other operators which were easier to get started, but they failed miserably (crunchyrolls operator is basically based on the zalando one)

Hello. I am currently using this docker-compose model from Zalando repository. It does not include PgBouncer in its architecture by default. I've been trying to find a containerized implementation involving Patroni, HAProxy, Etcd and PgBouncer. I didn't find anything solid so far.

General purpose: Patroni - Set up your own etcd + HAProxy + Patroni + Postgres components and it'll generally manage itself after that.

I don't have a great answer for you except that it sounds like you are trying to create your own version of patroni. Is there a good reason to not just use patroni?

git clone https://github.com/zalando/patroni.git cd patroni docker build -t patroni . docker-compose up -d

I've been trying out Beekeeper Studio [https://www.beekeeperstudio.io/] recently, and like that it supports both MySQL and PostgreSQL (and others I don't use). The interface takes a little bit to get used to, but it's been pretty powerful for me.

Before that, or when I'm in a rush to just get something done as I adjust to Beekeeper, I use Postbird (an Electron app) [https://github.com/Paxa/postbird]
