PgDog is funded and coming to a database near you

What about Multigres[0]? It builds on top of Postgres and adds HA (based on Flexible Paxos[1]), sharding, etc. They're still not production-ready, but I'm highly optimistic they will solve a lot of the problems Postgres have.

For example, with Multigres, you should be able to achieve true zero downtime major version upgrade by simply resharding [2]. With vanilla Postgres + pgBouncer, you can only achieve near-zero downtime (few seconds at most), though it's probably good enough for most use cases.

According to they githyb (https://github.com/multigres/multigres) as of today (June 12th, 2026):

Maybe it works, maybe it doesn't. I would start looking into it when it gets released as stable. Otherwise it's unfair.
