" there's slim to zero chance such a protocol will ever become reality." Even if you think that, I don't think you should say it out loud. Lots of great things were created because people were dumb and tried to do the im

For anyone who wants to help: I've been looking at a bunch of different ways to achieve high-availability postgres. What approach would you all suggest for a solo startup on a limited budget
