These are great shouts! Thank you so much for sharing. One of the operations I ran with this was ~500GB and yeah it takes a few hours to catchup. For us, it wasn't an issue, especially also since we were on AWS Aurora. However, that said, I can totally see it being not feasible on other database engine/systems. I considered the idea of dropping all the indices and re-creating it once the catch up is complete. I'd like pg_easy_replicate it to support that. It should make the initial COPY lot more swift. On a 200GB large DB it cut down down the total time by 90%.

Re: bi-directional replication, you read my mind :). https://github.com/shayonj/pg_easy_replicate/blob/8df94aa93f...

These two features are top of my list to support in pg_easy_replicate
