Thanks, that answers the question on 0 standbys.

Do you also happen to know the answer on synchronous vs asynchronous replication?

No problem. It’s asynchronous
Thanks. Will you offer a synchronous version in the future?

Since asynchronous means that you can lose previously acknowledged writes when the primary node crashes, which forbids many use cases (for example, most things involving money).

And Postgres already offers synchronous replication modes.

No concrete plans for sync replication that I know of. The team is aware of the need for it but there's not much info to share at the moment.
