> People don't usually run Postgres themselves (e.g. set up Postgres in a docker container), but it's not very hard to do.
It's easy to do a basic install.
It's quite hard to do it right, at scale, with workload-appropriate configuration, replication, backup etc.
My point... neither Postures nor Indira, or any other blockchain solution are easy to install and maintain in a fully scaled-up, fault-tolerant, multi-node deployment
The article makes it sound like Infura has a moat. There's no moat, it's as easy to switch as it is to switch Postgres clouds.
To be clear, I agree with most of their findings, this on is just a bit off.
