> Incredible delay between postgres versions
To be fair, it looks like GCP supported Postgres 13 (Nov 5, 2020) before AWS did (Nov 27, 2020) and AWS currently marks Postgres 13 as a preview. Maybe GCP had a large initial engineer-cost to support multiple versions of Postgres and now the incremental cost to add new versions is small?

Have you looked at other options? I'm evaluating GCP SQL and the comments in this thread are scary. Seems like Aiven might be a good way to go. I've also briefly looked at CrunchyData's Postgres Operator [1] for Kubernetes but it's a lot of complexity I don't really want.
