What does HackerNews think of wal-e?

Continuous Archiving for Postgres

Language: Python

#30 in PostgreSQL
#50 in PostgreSQL
#164 in Python
See the GitHub: https://github.com/wal-e/wal-e

Unmaintained would’ve made more sense to say, but the maintainer choose the words “obsolete” so I took those. :)

Seems to be obsolete due to a lack of interest and contributions.

Hope this helps someone out there.

^^ stream your write ahead logs to s3 + all the other bells and whistles you'd expect

Standard issue reminder, test your backups or they're not backups at all.

This seems complicated and would still fail if something happens to the host hardware itself right? What about projects like wal-e/wal-g that continuously archive to cloud storage?
