I believe you're referring to our January 2020 Kafka incident where a logic bug caused data loss for a customer. It was a serious failure and a huge learning moment for us.
The platform we operate today is fundamentally different and far more resilient than it was five years ago. We've scaled significantly (recently passing $100M ARR) because we took those early lessons seriously and continue to prioritize reliability.

Integration into GCP console sounds interesting, but a cloud-native Apache Kafka service has already been available for more than three years with enterprise SLAs, elasticity and access to an ecosystem of Kafka & other open source tooling.
FWIW, Aiven PostgreSQL (http://aiven.io/postgresql) runs latest PG versions and is available in HIPAA compliant configurations on AWS and GCP. We don't charge extra for it, but have a minimum monthly commitment to justify the small setup overhead.
The "copy from program" feature allows executing a program by design, and is pretty self documenting at that.
There are various other ways you can access the system outside PG once you're a superuser which is why most hosted PG providers (like us) don't allow superuser access.
I don't think "keft join" is the same as "left join".
"select * from table1 keft join table2 using (somecol)" is an inner join of table1 and table2, but table1 is assigned the alias "keft", because "AS" between table and its alias is optional.

Feature sets of all the recent backup and restore systems are becoming more and more alike, but when we started working on PGHoard there were no good options that were built to efficiently utilize different cloud object stores (S3 + GCS, Azure, Swift, etc.)
Nowadays there are many good options for handling basebackups and WAL, and one of the largest remaining issues is the lack of parallel WAL apply in PostgreSQL itself, which limits restore throughput quite severely.
I'm not sure of Sweden, but here in neighbouring Finland it's pretty quick and easy to get a visa if you have a job with a local technology company. Our applications have been processed in 2-4 weeks after completing the online application.
