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.

is it really pg compatible though?
doesnt support views, foreign key constraints, can only update 10,000 rows at once?
feels really like sql overcoat on top of a document/log store, its like nosql days all over agin with newsql.

Fair point! I took their claim at face value.
