It covers architecture, image design, backup strategy, major version upgrades, observability, licensing and community health. As a co-founder and maintainer of CloudNativePG, I make no claim to neutrality, and I say so upfront. What I can offer is informed bias, grounded in years of daily work on the project and a genuine respect for what Crunchy Data built in this space.</em></p>
