WAL-G is not yet production ready, but it has been used in a staging environment for the past few weeks without any issues. Once fdr adds parallel WAL support, he plans to take it into production.

Cool cool.

is google cloud storage on the roadmap?

WAL-G looks like it should be able to talk to Minio (minio.io, S3 compatible thing, also written in go) as a backend instead of S3 itself.

Minio has an interesting feature where it can be a "gateway" to other cloud storage. Google Cloud Storage is one of their specific examples:

https://docs.minio.io/docs/minio-gateway-for-gcs

So WAL-G would talk to Minio, and Minio would transparently proxy that to GCS.

There was some mention about resumable uploads in the blogpost which sadly each provider handles differently (that is the GCS layer that supports the S3 API does not accept resumable uploads).

Disclosure: I work on Google Cloud (so I'd love to see this tool point at GCS).
