When I tried it last year, their edge compute infra was just not there yet. It could not do any meaningful server-side rendering because of code size, compute and JS standard constraints. Has this situation changed?
Not sure what you mean with ssr for a CDN?
Bunny has a similarity concept: https://bunny.net/edge-scripting/
Isn't the operational burden of SQLite the main selling point over Postgres (not one I subscribe to, but that's neither here nor there)? If it's managed, why do I care if it's SQLite or Postgres? If anything, I would expect Postgres to be the friendlier option, since you won't have to worry about eventually discovering that you actually need some feature even if you don't need it at the start of your project. Maybe there are projects that implement SQLite on top of Postgres so you can gradually migrate away from SQLite if you need Postgres features eventually?
Any Linux distro can have MySQL or Postgres installed in less than five minutes and works out of the box
Even a single core VPS can handle lots of queries per second (assuming the tables are indexed properly and the queries aren't trash)
There are mature open source backup solutions which don't require DB downtime (also available in most package managers)
It's trivial to tune a DB using .conf files (there are even scripts that autotune for you!!!)
Your VPS provider will allow you to configure encryption at rest, firewall rules, and whole disk snapshots as well
And neither MySQL or Postgres ever seem to go down, they're super reliable and stable
Plus you have very stable costs each month
This is not a database of bunnies
Why choose this over Cloudflare D1?
Maybe I'm not the target market for this, but how hard is it REALLY to manage a RDBMS?

And tell me how easily you can achieve this "out of the box"
If you don't care about business continuity or high availability then everything gets easier

The box they're on goes down

Look into the capabilities of what I consider the leading edge of open source RDBMS managed solutions, Yugabyte: https://www.yugabyte.com And tell me how easily you can achieve this "out of the box" If you don't care about business continuity or high availability then everything gets easier > And neither MySQL or Postgres ever seem to go down, they're super reliable and stable The box they're on goes down
So? Not everyone needs 99.999999% availability.

Sure, any regular SME can just install Postgres or MySQL without even setting much up except with `mysql_secure_install`, a user with a password and an 'app' database. But you may end up with 10-20 database installs you need to back up, patch and so on every once in a while. And companies value that.
