Is anyone working on replacing postgres? Feels like it might be very useful since a lot of new technologies came out since spinning disks.
If you look at the changes that have been made to Postgres, and continue to be made, the answer is yes. The Postgres team is working on replacing Postgres. With even better Postgres.

They did a interview 2 weeks ago about this on the changelog podcast with Sugu Sougoumarane, the co-creator of Vitess, who is at Supabase now. Watching the competition year will be interesting https://youtu.be/y1aq8RsnJeI
Sugu hasn’t been at Planetscale for a few years
Today I'm announcing I've cured cancer. Well not yet, but coming soon hopefully!
This is exciting. The announcement says it will be open source. I really hope that this includes a functionally complete control plane so you realistically self-host.
