The text discusses a challenging bug encountered by the ClickPipes team related to logical replication slot creation on Postgres read replicas, causing significant customer frustration due to a query that could not be terminated. The issue, initially overlooked, resurfaced and was traced back to a Postgres bug that made certain backend processes unkillable when creating replication slots under specific conditions. The investigation revealed that the bug stemmed from an inefficient loop in the Postgres code, which failed to handle interrupts correctly on read replicas. A patch was submitted and accepted to address this issue, enhancing the robustness of Postgres in handling replication slots on hot standbys. This experience highlighted the complexities of modern database systems and the importance of collaboration with the open-source community to resolve such edge cases, ultimately benefiting both ClickPipes and the broader Postgres user base.
