Practically trivial to do in 2026 even by hand, and there are a couple of ready to use solutions that even make it automated.

If you're running it in kubernetes with cloudnativepg it's even easier.

The only thing it doesn't do well is master master replication which is why most of these does it scale posts mostly talk about how slow writes are. And they are pretty slow.

It all depends on the storage underneath. If you have got good storage, with CNPG you have comparable results you get on bare metal PostgreSQL.
