You know what's funny about this article.... Back in 2012 I had the same problems with Windows Update and that is what forced me to go to a mac. I've never looked back.
After setting up numerous clusters with repmgr and patroni along with running them in zero down time production... This is the very last plugin i would ever install. I like to sleep at night.
In GitHub we use an OIDC token to access some AWS resources. Locally I need to populate tokens etc and so I have an `if: ${{ACT}}` and a not condition to populate it.
I just implemented master with read replica with the bitnami postgres-repmgr image. It's not perfect, but it works and running my own instances in aws instead of rds is going to save me close to 80% when i also add in purchasing a savings plan. By setting this up I've learned more about postgres than i ever ever wanted too. lol
Just a heads up, we were using the bitnami charts in our first attempt at an HA postgres instance in our k8s cluster, and we're currently figuring out how to move away from them because they had so many issues.
Granted, we might've messed something up and there are lots of factors, but you should manually check your individual nodes every so often to make sure none of them are going out of sync. Need to connect to each one directly, can't rely on what the bouncer/pgpool/loadbalancer is showing you to check the data is the same. It happened repeatedly to us, and wasn't obvious from any of our monitoring. In the end we had to scale down to 1 node while we sort out moving to a different operator.
"They" == "those who can do that", that is, developers under their employers direction.
Not every sentence containing "they" is necessarily a flat earth like conspiracy.
