The Crunchy Data part is what people should pay more attention to here. He had corporate sponsorship and it was working. Company got acquired, new owners didn't prioritize the same things, and now 3.8k-star critical infrastructure goes dark. Your backup tool's funding depended on someone else's M&A strategy and you had no idea.

I've been gradually moving my own stuff to SQLite and git-tracked files partly because of this. Every managed Postgres setup has a dependency tree of tools maintained by people whose funding situation you know nothing about.
