This looks very good, but the marketing copy (the README is written as such) is horrendous.
This HN thread is already full of people saying "this looks brittle", "maintenance nightmare", &c. because the README spends so long trying to convince you that this product is a huge, multifaceted kitchen sink. People want simplicity, noone is looking for a plethora of things they need to run, why would you ever try and sell anything as that?
Most of the "features" they enumerate are either:
- optional pg extensions that are available in normal pg by default
- orchestration software that one might use to deploy HA pg clusters in a distributed / k8s type env anyway (i.e. it's not extra, it's just your underlying infra templates - e.g. Terraform, Patroni, &c.)
The only thing I really see there that is "not-really-needed-kitchen-sink-extras" is the observability stack (grafana, loki, &c.)
