It was great to see the article about distributed Postgres by the Crunchy Data team trending on HN. Judging by the ongoing discussion, many got interested in the whys and hows of distributed Postgres.

I published the following guide to distributed Postgres at the end of 2023. It explains three solutions from the Postgres ecosystem that turn Postgres into a distributed database.

Should be useful for many. Curious to hear your feedback.

If you need to scale, why not just use cloudnative-pg in k8s? https://cloudnative-pg.io/

You get alot of this for free?

CloudnativePg scales vertically. Distributed Postgres assumes you can data and read-write workload both horizontally and vertically.
