StackGres 1.0.0 released: Open Source Postgres-aaS with 120+ Extensions

[StackGres 1.0.0](https://stackgres.io) is an Open Source Postgres-as-a-Service that runs on any Kubernetes environment. StackGres is **the Postgres platform with more Postgres extensions available: 120 as of today.** Many more to come in the future.

### A feature-rich Postgres Platform

StackGres contains the full Stack of Postgres components needed for production:

* High availability and automated failover, using [Patroni](https://github.com/zalando/patroni).

* Built-in, enabled by default connection-pooling.

* Configurable automated backups with retention policies.

* Prometheus metrics exporter, with auto-binding. Customized Postgres metrics, Grafana dashboards and Postgres alerts.

* Expertly tuned default configurations --which you can optionally override.

### StackGres: innovating the Postgres Platform

**StackGres has also introduced significant innovations**:

* Using Envoy to proxy all Postgres traffic, thanks to the Postgres filter [developed by OnGres in collaboration with the Envoy Community](https://www.cncf.io/blog/2020/08/13/envoy-1-15-introduces-a-new-postgres-extension-with-monitoring-support/).

* A **fully-featured Web Console**.

* Distributed logs: push all Postgres and Patroni logs from all pods to a central server, which is a separate,
StackGres-managed Postgres database with [Timescale](https://www.timescale.com/).

* Fully automated ["Day 2" DBA operations](https://stackgres.io/doc/latest/reference/crd/sgdbops/), including: **minor and major version upgrades, controlled cluster restart, container version upgrades, vacuum, repack and even benchmarks!**

* A system to **dynamically load Postgres extensions** into the containers. This allows StackGres to ship lighter containers, while supporting potentially hundreds of extensions: [120 as of today](https://stackgres.io/extensions/).
