I never ran postgres in prod in k8s, but i used cloudnative-pg for some light, non-critical loads, dev/stg stuff. It works and it's fast, recovery just works (unlike zalando, which refuses to operate with anything but AWS s3). I also reported few minor bugs to cnpg team and they fixed them in no time.

Using the Zalando operator to send to Minio over here.

No problems at all so perhaps what you ran into has since been fixed?

We're using the Zalando operator. We have our wals and base backups shipped to Azure Storage Blob. Not sure where this S3 only thing comes from. Can you exllain further?

The way I'm reading the comments here is 'AWS S3 as the only flavour of S3 that works', i.e. they're having issues backing up to to services like DigitalOcean Object Storage via S3, rather than S3 being the only backup protocol that's supported.

yes, precisely. It's UI part that's broken, which cannot list snapshots. Issue is here, no fix since 2020, sadly: https://github.com/zalando/postgres-operator/issues/937
