Did I miss something, or does the article not mention anything about sharding in Postgres? Was that just not needed?

Also, query planner maturity is a big deal. It's hard to get Spanner to use the indexes you want.

There are probably fewer than 100 websites that couldn’t be a single Postgres instance on nice server hardware, with good caching.
