Ponder

Should Ponder replace SQLite with PGlite (pglite.dev) as the dev database? 

Pros:
1) Less magic/astonishment ("wait, what database am I using rn?")
2) Simpler schema definition API (currently stuck with the subset of stuff that both PG and SQLite support)

Going all-in on Postgres was the single best decision we made in 2024.

Much simpler, with no regression to the quickstart / local dev experience (thanks to PGlite). Obvious in retrospect.

Building ponder.sh. EVM, TypeScript, open-source enjoyer.

pglite is great! starting one process that hosts the app, database and relevant services (including task queue that pg can handle well) is magical
