No offense, but 4000 QPS is not large. I ran a 100K+ QPS MySQL instance with 384 GiB of RAM. This is all subjective, of course, but I wouldn’t call 100K QPS large, either. It’s getting on the high end of what you might reasonably want to handle without horizontal scaling, but it’s still not “large.”

postgres served 4000qps while restricted to 640 kilobytes of memory.

I am so sorry; I conflated your comment with the sibling from zeeg.

Godot is a game engine. https://godotengine.org Supabase has unofficial support. https://github.com/supabase-community/godot-engine.supabase/... Thanks for responding! I'm about 60% done with my current project so I don't think I'll be up to migrate( again, originally I started with Firebase), but I still definitely consider Gel for future projects. Or if I ever interview with your team( hiring? ) I'll migrate my exi…

> Godot is a game engine. https://godotengine.org Yeah, I knew that, and precisely because of that I assumed it's a typo :) We have a native Python client. We can take a look if it works from Godot. Do you know if this is a popular use case?

I don't think Python code really works with Godot. The syntax is similar, but it's a completely different language.

I think Godot is moderately popular, but I can't imagine you'll see a giant uptick in paying clients from adding it.

Neon seems to be doing something similar (their hosted solution was not that great last time I checked) most of their stack is open source.

(neon employee) there isn't something like Vitess for Postgres yet but there needs to be. Migrations are painful in general and they become very painful at scale. i haven't used gel yet, i know it manages migrations but i don't know to what extent. most of my experience is with prisma, drizzle, and atlas. neon is working on some plans to solve migrations at scale. we think our custom storage layer will allow us to op…

Postgres definitely needs github like tooling that does always online migrations. iirc githhub's migration tool was open source right?

Edit: yes it was https://github.com/github/gh-ost

And someone can correct me if I am wrong but really similar migrations are possible with Postgres I remember reading an article about some company doing a similar migration strategy using postgres publications. We just need better tooling.
