One Postgres cluster could easily handle 100000 transactions per minute, but when a primary node went down it was a page and manually failing over to the spare then manually replacing the spare.

Load balancer with health checks and failover, works out of the box. :) Battle-tested at this point too, so could be worth a look.

Good thing we support HA as well: https://docs.pgdog.dev/features/load-balancer/ Load balancer with health checks and failover, works out of the box. :) Battle-tested at this point too, so could be worth a look.
I notice there is an Enterprise Edition, can you please specify which features are not open source? Do you predict new features you add will be ee licensed as a way to pay back your VC funders?
1. Control plane to manage multi-node deployments; "works out of the box" experience to make PgDog easy to deploy and use
2. QoS (quality of service): automatically block bad queries from taking down the database
Last but not least, you get SLA-backed support from us (up to P0).
New features are broken down into two categories:
1. Sharding / running Postgres at scale: always open source.
2. Infra management / making it easy to run PgDog at scale: enterprise.

"Why Us" => "I ran Postgres at Instacart, where we scaled the company 5x in April of 2020. The biggest problem we had was making Postgres serve 100,000s of grocery delivery orders per minute" Couldn't be a better why us :)
Earlier quoted context omitted.
Yes, except it doesn't have any cross-dependencies on the same volume, so the uptime here should be higher.
Aurora has a completely different storage backend. PgDog is a front end proxy - each server in the cluster is still using standard Postgres right?

Is a load balancer HA?
