This is very cool, congrats on the launch. Do you think making this CLI/API compatible with Vitess or Citus is worth it?

I don't get a page for something that is not under my control, that is an organisational problem if you get that. But how is it relevant here?

In my example, I will get a page for large replication lag. But not for an unplanned failover. That will be an alert, but not a page.

> By its nature, K8s is designed to host stateless apps. It is fantastic at doing this, to be clear. I love K8s. But a system where the nodes can (and should, if you're taking advantage of spot pricing) disappear with a few minutes' warning is not a great host for an RDBMS.

Why is this a problem? A typical deployment will have multiple replicas, with (hopefully) small replication lag. Those should be able to be promoted to be the new primary within a minute.

Cloudflare | Senior/Staff Systems engineer – database platform | Remote | UK, Germany, Portugal or Netherlands

We are hiring a systems engineer at Cloudflare. Our team is responsible for managing all of Cloudflare's internal Postgres deployments. This particular role fullstack engineer-ish since this will involve writing frontend code for a system that engineers use to interact with databases, among other things. I am not the hiring manager but I am a part of this team, happy to answer any questions.

No, but there might still be basis for a lawsuit. For example, if a worker can prove that they need to be remote due to a medical condition, that might make this discrimination on that medical condition.

Does not work well for Bengali-English names. Some of the Bengali words are way too informal, or borderline cuss words.

Auth0 started as a remote company with one founder in the US and other in Argentina https://auth0.com/blog/welcome-to-the-remote-club-7-lessons-...

AFAIK Gitlab has been all remote since day 1, although I could not find a reference.

Looks good. Another way to look at the wire protocol is to hook postgres up to wireshark. There is a built-in postgres protocol parser.
