I really wish they'd acknowledge the prior art and name that they've taken inspiration from - https://github.com/postgresml/pgcat Don't pay a startup for your DB proxy, you should own that layer yourself inside of your infrastructure.
The creator of pgdog is also the creator of pgcat, so I think they probably don't need to do this.
pg cat
pg dog
What's he going to name the next version?
pg emu ?

> you should own that layer yourself inside of your infrastructure Unless you have millions of users, you don't really need this. It would be nice to have but its not a pressing need. So why invest into developing something that you only need once you are at massive scale? At this point you might as well switch away from Postgres because you'll surely have the manpower to do it. Even with a proxy like PgDog the Postg…

Is that still a lot? Feels like a single 64-core, 256GB RDS instance with some caching should handle that fine. RDS has instances up to 192-core and 768GB.
Is this vibe-coded?
Nit-Pick: It might be anti-marketing, still it would be helpful if the use cases can be articulated in a way where it would make sense to use this Vs any other type of database. Honesty goes a long way with the more technical folks for anything related to infrastructure. Surfacing where and how PG is better than Dynamo or any other database is probably a good starting point instead of calling out PG a silver bullet f…
Always is. Marketing is not our strong suit (only engineers here). We'll get better at it.
This commit looks... odd. https://github.com/pgdogdev/pgdog/commit/36434f93f03dec1d7d4... I want to have as much fun as the next developer, but that makes me worry, what with supply chain attacks in the news and all.

I am odd, yes. I also care deeply about supply chain security and focused on it when I led the crates.io team as well as during my time at the Rust Foundation. You can rest assured that my occasional shitposts are not opening an attack avenue for your supply chain. - Sage
