Suggestion: have more than just helm and Docker in your quickstart documentation. I'd like to try this out just to see what it can do, but not quite enough to fire up one of those systems for it.

Is there a binary I can run directly?

We should add it to brew/apt/etc for sure. Also, we could add it to crates.io so you could do something like `cargo install pgdog`. Distribution, distribution, distribution.

I also appreciate GitHub releases with pre-compiled binaries for different platforms. The more options the better!

In addition - the docker compose example doesn't set up any data volumes for the postgres instances - that might be considered a bug?

Then again, sharding on a single host probably isn't very useful anyway - but it might work with docker in swarm mode?

The docker compose example is just a demo. I don't know anyone who runs Postgres with docker compose / swarm in prod :) But yes, happy to add volumes so it seems more real.
