Why PostgreSQL High Availability Matters and How to Achieve It
pg_auto_failover makes it an absolute breeze. I cannot understand how it's not mentioned in the article.
I've been runnning it for 3 years with great success - https://github.com/hapostgres/pg_auto_failover/discussions/6...
-
Can someone share experience configuring Highly Available PgSQL?
Simplified and probably OK: pg_auto_failover - One Monitor/Witness node and minimum services otherwise. Good documentation to get started and not nearly as complex as Patroni.
-
PG redundancy even in majority failure
There are tools that make managing such a system easier. Check out patroni, pg_auto_failover or PAF

The C++ Asynchronous Framework
This is /extremely/ uncharitable. It depends more on the project.
For example, both Go and .NET are very well written with comprehensible documentation. Many projects have also been absorbed by the Apache Foundation or other FOSS initiatives.
Every FANG has boat loads of teams working on umpteen different open source packages. The quality naturally varies.
Let me pick two more esoteric projects as a point of comparison.
Yandex Odyssey (https://github.com/yandex/odyssey) an advanced multi-threaded PostgreSQL connection pooler and request router. Figuring out how exactly and when to use this is not quite clear. There is no "getting started" guide for this package. There is barely any explanation for how it works or what it does.
pg_auto_failover (https://github.com/citusdata/pg_auto_failover) run by Citus (owned by Microsoft) monitors and manages automated failover for a Postgres cluster. This repo even has diagrams explaining the workflow and complete instructions.

Do you use Percona Distribution for PostgreSQL? How is it working for you?
Right, https://github.com/citusdata/pg_auto_failover has been on my reading list

Simpler Postgresql replication setup (NO managed services)
My go to for this is https://github.com/citusdata/pg_auto_failover set up with ansible https://github.com/neuroforgede/pg\_auto\_failover\_ansible

- Citus: PostgreSQL extension that transforms Postgres into a distributed database
-
Figma's Databases team lived to tell the scale
I see they don't mention Citus (https://github.com/citusdata/citus), which is already a fairly mature native Postgres extension. From the details given in the article, in sounds like they just reimplemented it.
I wonder if they were unaware of it or disregarded it for a reason —I currently am in a similar situation as the one described in the blog, trying to shard a massive Postgres DB.

PostgreSQL Is Enough
It is possible, if you pay for it. You can do Multi-AZ Clustered Instances in RDS, where you get the benefits of Multi-AZ failover with traffic sharing.
If you can run your own infra – at least on an EC2 level – you can do things like Citus [0] for Postgres, which is about as close to "just add database nodes" as you'll get.

So while searching for something like this for postgres I came across citus. Any one know how that stacks up?
