NOT ON THE CURRENT EDITION
This blip is not on the current edition of the Radar. If it was on one of the last few editions, it is likely that it is still relevant. If the blip is older, it might no longer be relevant and our assessment might be different today. Unfortunately, we simply don't have the bandwidth to continuously review blips from previous editions of the Radar.

Trial
Worth pursuing. It is important to understand how to build up this capability. Enterprises should try this technology on a project that can handle the risk.
Patroni is a template for PostgreSQL high availability. Born out of the need to provide automatic failure for PostgreSQL, Patroni is a Python-based PostgreSQL controller that leverages a distributed configuration store (such as etcd, ZooKeeper, or Consul) to manage the state of the PostgreSQL cluster. Patroni supports both streaming and synchronous replication models and provides a rich set of REST APIs for dynamic configuration of the PostgreSQL cluster. If you want to achieve high availability in a distributed PostgreSQL setup, you have to consider many edge cases, and we like the fact that Patroni provides a template to achieve most of the common use cases.
