You can implement a vector clock with physical time: instead of a lamport clock per node entry, make the nodes exchange messages with their physical timestamp, and use that as the value for the different entries. As long as the physical clo

Re: the part about using your own home-grown leader replication on top of Postgres: it seems it focuses on electing a new leader if it fails: do I understand that all database traffic gets routed to the leader? Do you serve read-only querie

HiPE support is getting wonky, I don't know if many people use it, and I'm not sure it supports the latest OTP versions. The Erlang folks are looking for maintainer volunteers to continue working on HiPE support, they don't h
