I completely understand. I had exactly the same experience with
Stolon. Everything just worked. And the setup took like 5 minutes.

It's a pity this project doesn't seem to get as much attention as
Patroni. Probably because attention requires traveling and presenting
the project at conferences which costs money. Or perhaps people are
just happy with Patroni. I'm not sure in which state Stolon is today.
