I guess you did not look into Patroni's README, as it states:

> Patroni originated as a fork of Governor, the project from Compose. It includes plenty of new features.

Governor's git repo seems to have no recent activity (last commit 11 months ago).

Indeed I missed that, my bad. But anyway the README states:

>"Patroni originated as a fork of Governor, the project from Compose. It includes plenty of new features."

But it doesn't say what those features are. So I guess I'm curious what those features are without having to watch a whole youtube video. Or why they didn't submit PRs to Govenor for the added functionality.

Compose guys are kind of happy with existing functionality of Governor and didn't really wanted to add something new. That was the main reason of making a fork.

If you read a further comments to this news you can get familiar with the part of new functionality of Patroni comparing to Governor.

Thanks. Yeah I've been making my way through the video - "Elephants on Automatic: HA Clustered PostgreSQL with Helm"

and its discussed at the 15:57 minute mark here if anyone else is interested:

Cheers.

You also can have a look on slides of my talk about at PGConf.US 2017: https://www.slideshare.net/AlexanderKukushkin1/patroni-ha-po...

Talk was also recorded but video is not yet published.

And one more thing, you can try to run a Live-Demo the same way as I did it during presentation: https://cyberdemn.blogspot.de/2017/04/patroni-ha-postgresql-...

Oh neat, thanks!
