By its nature, K8s is designed to host stateless apps. It is fantastic at doing this, to be clear. I love K8s. But a system where the nodes can (and should, if you're taking advantage of spot pricing) disappear with a few minutes' warning is not a great host for an RDBMS.

Why is this a problem? A typical deployment will have multiple replicas, with (hopefully) small replication lag. Those should be able to be promoted to be the new primary within a minute.

Cloudflare | Senior/Staff Systems engineer – database platform | Remote | UK, Germany, Portugal or Netherlands

We are hiring a systems engineer at Cloudflare. Our team is responsible for managing all of Cloudflare's internal Postgres deployments. This particular role fullstack engineer-ish since this will involve writing frontend code for a system that engineers use to interact with databases, among other things. I am not the hiring manager but I am a part of this team, happy to answer any questions.

Does not work well for Bengali-English names. Some of the Bengali words are way too informal, or borderline cuss words.

This is a great writeup, thanks. It will be very useful if y'all could add a post comparing neon with citusdb in terms of functionality, performance and operations.
