Zero Downtime Postgres Upgrades
This is great! I wrote a tool that automates most of the things you came across. If you find it useful or would like to extend it with your feedback/ideas, I'd love to have them! Thanks for sharing

Zero downtime major PostgreSQL upgrades with pg_easy_replicate
These are great shouts! Thank you so much for sharing. One of the operations I ran with this was ~500GB and yeah it takes a few hours to catchup. For us, it wasn't an issue, especially also since we were on AWS Aurora. However, that said, I can totally see it being not feasible on other database engine/systems. I considered the idea of dropping all the indices and re-creating it once the catch up is complete. I'd like pg_easy_replicate it to support that. It should make the initial COPY lot more swift. On a 200GB large DB it cut down down the total time by 90%.
Re: bi-directional replication, you read my mind :). https://github.com/shayonj/pg_easy_replicate/blob/8df94aa93f...
These two features are top of my list to support in pg_easy_replicate

Never saw this communicated by Google, but Netflix is the company I have in mind for doing that: https://github.com/Netflix/chaosmonkey

Introduction to Chaos Engineering
In 2010 Netflix developed a tool called "Chaos Monkey", whose goal was to randomly take down compute services (such as virtual machines or containers), part of the Netflix production environment, and test the impact on the overall Netflix service experience. In 2011 Netflix released a toolset called "The Simian Army", which added more capabilities to the Chaos Monkey, from reliability, security, and resiliency (i.e., Chaos Kong which simulates an entire AWS region going down). In 2012, Chaos Monkey became an open-source project (under Apache 2.0 license). In 2016, a company called Gremlin released the first "Failure-as-a-Service" platform. In 2017, the LitmusChaos project was announced, which provides chaos jobs in Kubernetes. In 2019, Alibaba Cloud announced ChaosBlade, an open-source Chaos Engineering tool. In 2020, Chaos Mesh 1.0 was announced as generally available, an open-source cloud-native chaos engineering platform. In 2021, AWS announced the general availability of AWS Fault Injection Simulator, a fully managed service to run controlled experiments.
