Thanks, great questions!

1) We are currently exploring all options for clustering, though we are likely to try something on our own. No final decisions made yet though.

2) One of the next tutorials we'd like to do is how to setup using Timescale with wal-e for backups (we use this in a hosted service we have). Generally we should work with tools that work with PostgreSQL, we just want to make sure we cover all the caveats.

3) It's a custom solution we've built sort of organically that converts Markdown files (with some custom syntax) into HTML. :)

4) Currently we do not.

5) We have had high level talks about various ways to better compress data including delta compression, but nothing definitive yet. We do find just running on ZFS gives 3-4x compression, so that’s already a nice win if compression a priority.

6) This is definitely on our roadmap but again is also in the early stages.

Thanks!
