2 used to be true, but is less and less with every release. Won’t say it is false yet, but PG 10 is getting there. What is still left to do?

CockroachDB-style "set and forget" clusters.

If I can just put a container image into my kubernetes cluster, and set it to auto-scale, and postgres automatically scales depending on load, and it all just magically works, then it’d be perfect.

Knowing how well engineered everything else in PGSQL is, I’m sure this is going to happen sooner or later.

Mysql also doesn't have range-based-sharding (in any external tool that I know).

You have to look at CockroachDB(postgresql driver) vs TiDB(mysql driver) unless you want to wait 10 years for that to happen in pg/mysql land.
