I agree with everything on this list. Been bit by most of these at one point or another. XID wraparound was the worst.

Ironically we avoided a lot of the replication bugs by accidentally deciding to use logical replication from the start, but that of course brought in a whole different set of bugs instead.

I'm surprised there wasn't a complaint about the vacuumer. That was probably my biggest single pain of running a large active cluster. There was never a good time to vacuum, but if you skipped it, it eventually happened automatically, usually at the worst possible time, when the database was most active.

To be fair I haven't managed postgres since 8.3, so maybe that got better?



It's pretty darn different than 8.3 today.
