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.
