I am probably wrong, as often is the case, but I seem to remember that High availability used to be in the enterprise tier. Now it is missing from the “software tier”. What am I missing? Is HA now free or not?
We also make available k8s helm charts that make it super easy to setup replicated clusters, including with mechanisms (Patroni) for automated failure detection and failover, and continuous incremental backup. That's also available under the Apache-2 license:

(There used to be some slightly confusing language in our product page that perhaps led to some of your confusion, and apologies for that.)
For multi-node (available starting in TimescaleDB 2.0), we are working on more native mechanisms for replication. But as announced earlier, these will all be "community" features (free) under our Timescale License.
One thing that I found confusing is that there is no clear explanation of the differences between the editions. Your answers are very clear and explain things nicely, but I would expect this information to be available on your site. Just a thumbs up. Keep up the good work!
Are there any docs on non-k8s setups? Maybe with docker-compose?
