> more or less a single Postgres database with all our state

oh that’s neat. As a data architect, I like to avoid such issues by never letting it happen in the first place. I love Postie but I’m not a specialist. But why not sharding? Seems like a proper data model in 5Tran’s ___domain would be intrinsically shard-able by client and you could balance it over multiple instances. Does profiling or analyze expose any low-hanging fruit to pluck off for optimization? Or maybe that’s exactly the question you need an experienced Postgres DBA to ask and answer for you...
