#2Citus is my favorite website when it comes to Postgres content. Their blog posts are usually very informative and useful.

#3They were surprised that maintaining a postgres fork was a pain in the ass?

#4Since we are talking about postgres, please let me go a little OT
Is there any interests in a RDS as a Service? So basically setting up and running a completely fault aware postgres cluster in any infrastructure, either public or private?

I imagine there is interest in it since Aiven provide such a thing.

A lot of interest. Setting this up is too much sysops for someone who wants to spend his time developing code.

Aiven works only with public clouds...

Oh dear sweet lords in the many heavens yes. I have literally turned down devops transition and general system administration work before because they refused to use RDS or equivalent service like Compose.io due to internal corporate policy. Life is too short for me to ever babysit another database server through the painful process of a carefully orchestrated rolling capacity upgrade by way of deliberate use of replicas and failover. (Apparently this has gotten better in newer Postgres versions, but it's not been my job to keep on top of the implications of these things for several years now)

#10Can anyone shed some light on how the supposed new cluster features of Postgres 10 compare to something like Citus?
In other words. Does Postgres 10 offer the same features in terms of clustering as Citus does?
