It amazes me that anything in common use has these kinds of absurd issues. Postgres has a powerful query language and a lot of great features but the engine itself is clunky and hairy and feels like something from the early 90s. The whole idea of a big expensive vacuum process is crazy in 2021, as is the difficulty of clustering and failover in the damn thing.
CockroachDB is an example of what a modern database should be like.
