So I fought with this over the last two years, and went from running Postgres in a Docker container, to Amazon RDS after getting frustrated with maintaining Docker volumes, and then now, back to using Docker volumes via Kubernetes' volume attachment. I think Kubernetes has done a great job at tackling this, at least as a first pass. Right now, I can attach an EBS volume as my Postgres data store, and not worry about where the container is running, since Kubernetes handles mounting the volume. Presumably, I can run an NFS server and have it use that instead of an EBS volume. Now, I can run backups and slaves however I like. It's not as easy as RDS, but I have more control now, and it's marginally cheaper. Anyway, I see where the author is coming from, and we're not totally there yet, but the problem is being solved.
