Regarding distributed(-ish) Postgres, does anyone know if something like My/MariaSQL's multi-master Galera† is around for Pg:

> MariaDB Galera Cluster provides a synchronous replication system that uses an approach often called eager replication. In this model, nodes in a cluster synchronize with all other nodes by applying replicated updates as a single transaction. This means that when a transaction COMMITs, all nodes in the cluster have the same value. This process is accomplished using write-set replication through a group communication framework.

This isn't necessarily about being "web scale", but having a first-party, fairly-automated replication solution would make HA easier for a number internal-only stuff much simpler.
