Distributing PostgreSQL still requires proprietary extensions.

With the most popular being Citus which is owned by Microsoft and so questions should definitely remain about how long they support that instead of pushing users to Azure.

People like to bash MongoDB but at least they have a built-in, supported and usable HA/Clustering solution. It's ridiculous to not have this in 2024.

Trying to use MongoDB by default for new projects because of the built in HA, dumped Postgres because the HA story is so bad on bare metal (alright if you are ok burning money on RDS or simiar).

Current preference: 1. HA MongoDB 2. HA MariaDB (Galera) or MySQL Cluster 3. Postgres Rube Goldberg Machine HA with Patroni 4. No HA Postgres
