Provides BTRFS file system, which allows you to take snapshots
I only use the tool for testing purposes on my team, but multiple people use it. We don't make a team effort to install the solution. When it comes to maintenance, we ask our company to buy SUSE Linux Enterprise. My team consists of 13 people. We are currently integrating the solution with Ansible to do some coding. Although not a full-fledged automation, we are integrating the solution with Ansible and executing a couple of playbooks connected to openSUSE Leap. I would recommend the solution to other users looking for an open-source solution. Overall, I rate the solution a nine out of ten.

Offers clear structure and reliable transactions but needs improvement in handling scalability
Asynchronous replication will help in managing data distribution and seeing benefits, but I'm not certain as I have not worked with such tasks in PostgreSQL on Ubuntu. I've resolved similar things in non-SQL databases such as MongoDB, but I haven't attempted those functionalities in PostgreSQL on Ubuntu due to their complexity.
