Congratulations and thanks

I would like to express my admiration and gratitude for your work on pg_auto_failover. 👏

After reviewing the various options available to achieve HA for our setup, everything but pg_auto_failover felt like something I'd never feel confident or in control of. Too many moving parts and opaque orchestration behind the scenes was not what I was looking for. The structure and setup of pg_auto_failover looked transparent and understandable.

I was not disappointed!

In just the first evening I had a working setup running, and felt confident migrating from our single Postgres database the next day.

Even when I messed up trying to tune Postgres.conf**, I felt confident rebuilding that standby node from scratch, and had it back up in about 10 minutes.

So, thank you very much for your work, it's a great tool, great tutorials and great documentation - I'm looking forward to see where you take this in the future with DR and PITR.

** (only to later realize this was also included in pg_auto_failover 😍) - I had set max_worker_processes etc. to 4 instead of 8, and the standby wouldn't come back because it didn't match the primary
