The article is ridden with misconception. Have you guys ever heard of the CAP theorem ?
Disturbed system suck let's implement a non distributed one. The title is also misleading: Postgres transactions are not distributed.

DBOS, Temporal and friends inherit this limitation. Something like Restate actually implements distributed transactions.
