There is a thread on this on the Postgres lists as well (unsurprisingly): https://www.postgresql.org/message-id/flat/579795DF.10502%40commandprompt.com#[email protected] I'm only halfway through it but the Postgres devs strike me as being very levelheaded and competent. They seem to acknowledge the genuine issues and point of some of the tradeoffs that Uber is making without pointing them out. One thing I really did like about the Uber post was that even if it isn't a complete/fair comparison/etc it is really informative as an introduction into how some of the architecture works. The same applies to much of the Postgres thread. I found it really useful for understanding how both indexing/replication solutions work under the hood. -- Rich
