I'm curious if PostgreSQL has plans to alleviate issues like the ones had by Uber which caused them to switch to MySQL?
* Index Bloat with ctid
* Write Amplification
* Replication Overhead
* Data Corruption
* Poor Replica MVCC Support
* Expensive Upgrade Process
I *really* love the philosophy of PostgreSQL, but am concerned by these impediments to scale.
