How many people/services have superuser access to your PostgreSQL cluster(s)? Did you ever ask why your software engineers might need it? Or your BI team?

The Sun is an energetic star, constantly radiating energy and pumping streams of charged particles out into space. And while this solar wind can be dangerous in itself, without it, Earth and all the other members of our planetary system would be at constant risk of threats from outer space.
