It’s a tool that clones Postgres databases. It’s not a clone of Postgres the application.

The postgres binary is only around 6MB, which is astonishingly small.

It's much more sophisticated than cloning - it's only cloning the changes between the databases instead of the full databases. Ie 10 x 1TB database is only taking 1TB on disk.
