I recently found out that Bitnami's latest announcements make it tough to continue using their services. I'm looking for recommendations on a solid alternative to run a highly available (HA) PostgreSQL database. Any suggestions?

If you're looking for something visually rich and featureable, I’d suggest checking out Zalando or Crunchy Data along with CloudNativePG. They all have solid performance for HA setups.
I’ve heard good things about both CloudNativePG and StackGres. CloudNativePG is simpler, while Zalando and StackGres come packed with more features. Either should serve you well for HA PostgreSQL.
I initially tried CloudNativePG but found it a bit limiting with their 1 DB per cluster design. I eventually switched to the Zalando Postgres operator and I'm pretty happy with it now. It allows me to pack multiple DBs on one cluster without any issues. Good luck finding your solution!
I'm in the same boat at work! Can anyone explain why I should choose CloudNativePG or StackGres over something like AWS RDS? Looking for some insights here!
I haven't used the Bitnami chart myself, but I can vouch for CloudNativePG being a fantastic alternative! It's definitely more feature-rich than a standard Helm-based deployment.
I switched to CloudNativePG and it's working great! The documentation can be a bit tricky at first, but once you get the hang of it, it really shines. It’s definitely one of the best options for Kubernetes.
I agree! CloudNativePG has great features like snapshotting and master switching that make it stand out.
Same here! The operator model they use really helps with database management, plus features like annotating clusters to manage them more effectively are super useful.
