Go ahead, self-host Postgres

The most common way to achieve HÁ is using Patroni. The easiest way to set it up is using Autobase (https://autobase.tech).

CloudNativePG (https://cloudnative-pg.io) is a great option if you’re using Kubernetes.

There’s also pg_auto_failover which is a Postgres extension and a bit less complex than the alternatives, but it has its drawbacks.

Be sure to read the Муths and Truths about Synchronous Replication in PostgreSQL (by the author of Patroni) before considering those solutions as cloud-native high availability: https://www.postgresql.eu/events/pgconfde2025/sessions/sessi...

What is your preferred alternative to Patroni?
