PostgreSQL

initial thoughts on AWS DSQL

1. PG compatible (pg is dominant at this point)
2. Most of the article talked about HA
3. AWS has a proprietary, internal distributed transaction log service that is supposedly the most important piece of AWS and everything in AWS depends on it. Hope that teams makes 10M annual tc each.
4. It depresses me to think that the future of compute and storage is: run it on aws

It's really neat to think about having a network storage layer that can support many database frontends. this seems like the future. Neon et al. are moving in this direction. Also something that Stonebraker has been talking about for a while now.

wow, AWS DSQL sounds like a game-changer! love the idea of a unified network storage layer. pg compatibility is a big win too. just hope it's not all about HA tho... fingers crossed 🤞
