A big problem is that putting your DCS into Postgres means your whole
system is now super-sensitive to IO/WAL-streaming issues, and a busy
database doing database stuff is going to start affecting the DCS stuff.
With three lightweight DCS servers, you don't really need to worry about
how stressed the database servers are. In that way, I feel etcd et al. are
adhering to the unix philosophy of "do one thing, and do it well."
Cheers,
Greg
