We use patroni and run it outside of k8s on prem, no issues in 6 or 7 years. Just upgraded from pg 12 to 17 with basically no down time without issue either.

Yo I'm curious if you have any pointers on how you went about this to share? Did you use their provided upgrade script or did you instrument the upgrade yourself "out of band"? rsync?

Currently scratching my head on what the appropriate upgrade procedure is for a non-k8s/operator spilo/patroni cluster for minimal downtime and risk. The script doesn't seem to work for this setup, erroring on mismatching PG_VERSION when attempting. If you don't mind sharing it would be very appreciated.
