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

UUIDv7 is coming in PostgreSQL 17
> Integers don't scale because you need a central server to keep track of the next integer in the sequence.
They most assuredly do scale. [0]
Also, Slack is built on MySQL + Vitess [1], the same system behind PlanetScale, which internally uses integer IDs [2].

HELP: GitHub, PlanetScale(MySQL), and Dashboards
Some context avail at https://github.com/planetscale/discussion/discussions/186
- How do I maintain referential integrity?

Vitess 11
Please prioritize the standard connection string access method: https://github.com/planetscale/beta/discussions/15
This single feature would open up a lot of usage for me and many others I know.
What are some alternatives?
patroni - A template for PostgreSQL High Availability with Etcd, Consul, ZooKeeper, or Kubernetes
citus - Distributed PostgreSQL as an extension
orchestrator - MySQL replication topology management and HA
postgresql_cluster - PostgreSQL High-Availability Cluster (based on "Patroni" and DCS "etcd" or "consul"). Automating with Ansible.
plv8 - V8 Engine Javascript Procedural Language add-on for PostgreSQL
tds_fdw - A PostgreSQL foreign data wrapper to connect to TDS databases (Sybase and Microsoft SQL Server)
vitess - Vitess is a database clustering system for horizontal scaling of MySQL.
amazon-redshift-utils - Amazon Redshift Utils contains utilities, scripts and view which are useful in a Redshift environment
pg-safeupdate - A simple extension to PostgreSQL that requires criteria for UPDATE and DELETE
odyssey - Scalable PostgreSQL connection pooler
