Add Patroni to GitLab component list
Overview
Patroni is available as an experimental feature. In preparation for fully supporting Patroni, we should ensure that it is documented in accordance with the instructions for adding a new component.
Proposal
Add Patroni to the GitLab components list. The documentation should include:
- An overview of the role of Patroni
- The benefits of using Patroni
- Considerations for using Patroni (e.g. a note about the benefits of keeping GitLab deployments simple, as described in https://docs.gitlab.com/ee/administration/reference_architectures/)
- A link to the Patroni source page
- A note that Patroni is an optional alternative (but eventual replacement) to repmgr
- A link to configuration docs for Omnibus and the charts
In addition to the components list, check for any other gaps in requirements outlined in the new component list.
