Supabase, while a great product, does not offer serverless Postgress.
What would you say they offer then if not serverless Postgres? You set up a database, you connect to it, they take care of the rest. It even scales to $0 if you don't use it. Is that not serverless Postgres?

That's postgre on their server.
How is what Supabase offers different from what Neon offers from a user perspective?
Ok, can we just. How is Databricks an AI unicorn exactly?
Enterprises have lots of data. They store it somewhere, and there are multiple vendors that provide such "credible" infrastructure for this type of storage. Think of it like, your dad says he's willing to get a dog, but only trusts these-five-animal-shelters and nothing else. That doesn't mean that's correct (that those are the only places to get a dog), it just means that's what he trusts. Databricks is most likely…
They can't build it themselves, and it's highly dubious that they'd be able to hire and supervise someone to build it. Databricks may be selling "nothing special", but it's needed, and the buyers can't build it themselves.

Meanwhile here I am wondering why everyone isn’t using SQLite.

Supabase gives you a server that runs classic Postgres in a process. Scaling in this scenario means you increase your server's capacity, with a potential downtime while the upgrade is happening.
You are confusing _managed_ Postgres for _serverless_.
Others in the serverless Postgres space:
- https://www.orioledb.com/ (pg extension)
- https://www.thenile.dev/ (pg "distribution")
- https://www.yugabyte.com/ (not emphasizing serverless but their architecture would allow for it)
I've been seriously considering neon for a new application. This definitely gives me pause... maybe plain ol' Postgres is going to be the winner for me again.
I haven't studied the CLA situation in order to know if a rug pull is on the table but Tofu and Valkey have shown that where there's a will there's a way
What is the lowdown on Databricks? Their bread and butter were hosted Spark and notebooks. As tasks done in Spark over a data lake began to be delegated wholesale to columnar store ELT, they tried to pivot to "lake houses", then I sort of lost track of them after I got out of Spark myself. Did Delta Lake ever catch on? Where are they going now?
