It seems that Alibaba is going more open source than Amazon for their clouds services. That’s interesting and they may use this approach as a key differentiator.
What more db’s are based on Postgres?
“high availability through Paxos based replication”. I thought Paxos is supposed to be a CP system.

If you understand your use cases and your application source code, you can go a long way towards some kind of multi-region HA that does something acceptable during the partition, but that's a pretty big if.

Based on what metric? Amazon took over Elastic's open source server and another major one IIRC. That was huge. PostgreSQL is not about to disappear.
Fantastic! I was actually looking for a buggier version of postgres that won't be supported a year. That's exactly what I was looking for. > PolarDB will evolve and offer its functions and features in two major parts: Oh boy.
Also, how do you know it's a 'buggier version of postgres'? have you tried PolarDB yourself?
Currently running my app + db on Heroku in the EU and would like to scale out since latency is abysmal for users in Australia and Asia.
