What replication issues are you referring too? I never once had a problem with pgsql's replication across 8.1->9.5.

It would randomly die, but that was always either my fault or the applications fault, never pgsql itself.

The lack of master-master seems to be the big thing everyone mentions, but PostgresXL is currently in a usable-in-production state.

But, what is the current replication setup that comes with postgres that is well documented with the PostgreSQL (current-version) documentation... the past, when I've looked there's mention of 2-3 solutions (none in-the-box) and others that require at least a 5-figure support contract.

Compare to MongoDB, RethinkDB, MS-SQL and others where the tooling for replication comes in the box. Yes, to of the examples are "no-sql" but even the mysql replication is in the box and supported as such.

Did you read this?

I'm not sure what more you can ask from documentation.

Does MySQL document Vitess, Galera, MaxScale, etc...?
