The Deletion of Docker.io/Bitnami
Just to be crystal clear about the open source part: the code for all container images will continue to be maintained, kept up to date, and publicly accessible on GitHub (https://github.com/bitnami/containers) under the Apache 2 license.

The Home Server Journey - 5b: A Bridge Too Far?
If you're writing your own application, it's easy to define different addresses for writing to and reading from a replicated database, respecting the role of each copy. But a lot of useful software already around assumes a single connection is needed, and there's no simple way to get around that. That's why you need specific intermediaries or proxies like Pgpool-II for PostgreSQL, that can appear to applications as a single entity, redirecting queries to the appropriate backend database depending on it's contents:
