Okey, maybe I do not understand something but how is https://neon.tech https://neon.tech not auto-scaling? Or the more expensive option at AWS Aurora?

- endisneigh 3y agoThis is not Postgres. It's a managed instance, but isn't built in.
- re-thc 3y ago> not auto-scaling? The writes aren't. There's no sharding for example. You can ever only have 1 primary writer.
- maxbond 3y agoFair, but this is getting fixed. Postgres 16 (which was just released) adds an origin tag to logical replication, so that you can know whether or not to pass on a change (and avoid having an infinite loop where a change is replicated back and forth). That's the first step to having multiple mains. I think in theory, if you had deep Postgres knowledge, you could set up a high touch, bespoke multi-main deployment today. I expect the replication story with Postgres will get much better over the next few years.
