I'm always so impressed by Postgres' features and performance. I am unfortunately not as impressed with Postgres' operational model. As a disclaimer, I'm not highly familiar with very many databases, but it seems like Postgres sticks out as a poorly suited for robustly automated infrastructure.

Maybe I'm totally wrong on this, looking forward to reading other perspectives.

edit: If you’re going to down my post can you at least reply and tell me why? I’m asking questions to learn things outside my own perspective.
