I only have the untrained DBA perspective coming from building and hosting MySQL, Maria DB and postgres clusters over the last 14 years and I feel that Galera clustering feels a lot better than anything I've seen in postgres. Agreed that postgres has amazing performance. I was actually an early convert to postgres back in 2004 because my boss and coworker at the time saved entire businesses by migrating them to postgres when they had enough of trying to scale MySQL with more hardware vertically. But in the later decade when I myself have used clustering to scale I've found that Galera feels less like a tacked on afterthought than anything I've seen in the postgres world. It's just a lot more integrated than pgoool and watchdog. I know there are new solutions now that run the postgres clusters inside kubernetes that I haven't tried yet. But that isn't more integration, that's just more 3rd party abstraction. Edit: I realize after I wrote this how strange it must seem to a developer. Because galera/wsrep is actually a 3rd party replication product "tacked on" to MariaDB. While postgres replication, afaik, is written into their mainline code. I guess my gripe wasn't about the replication but rather the "clustering" around it, like maxscale/haproxy/pgpool and so forth. And in that sense they seem pretty equal, I just chose to use pgpool for my postgres clusters and that is definitely a hacky, scripty mess compared to HAproxy or Maxscale.
