Problem Definition
Bitbucket 10 introduced clustered database support, but currently only for Pgpool-II. This limits customers to a single HA solution that may not align with modern PostgreSQL best practices.
Why this is important
Patroni does HA/failover better and more reliably; pgpool-II offers more features (pooling, load balancing) but at the cost of significantly more operational complexity. Most modern PostgreSQL deployments lean toward Patroni + PgBouncer + HAProxy as separate, composable components rather than pgpool-II as a monolith.
