It's been a while, but IIRC it was on pg12. "Stopped working completely" I'm basing on the vacuum statistics saying the last auto-vacuum started weeks ago for these tables and never actually finished. Frequent updates means regularly rewriting 10 million rows (at various places) throughout the table. I also should mention that there were 100+ materialized views built off this table which I'm sure had an impact.
In any case, this got resolved but caused a huge operational headache, and isn't something that would have been a problem with MySQL. I feel like that's the main reason VACUUM gets hated on; all of the problems with it are solvable, but you only find those problems by running into them, and when you run into them on your production database it ends up somewhere between "pain in the ass" and "total nightmare" to resolve.
