Thanks for explaining :)
Makes perfect sense. I got burned trying out surrealDB recently and ended up going back to Postgres as well. Still keeping an eye out for other interesting DBs to try. Maybe not for production, though.
But sqlx in rust is just so damn good.

Curios to know why you chose Postgres as Gel‘s successor.

In case you got access to logs: highlight and count reported errors usually caught by rust.

Show them cargo and how ridiculously easy (compared to python) it is to install dependencies.

If hardware cost is a factor for the on prem thing: memory footprint is much smaller.

Not aware of anything like that. But I found it to be fairly slow, like two orders of magnitude slower than Postgres. Its features looks very promising and I really want to like and use it more. In terms of reliability and performance, it’s not quite there yet.

just in case you kept it all in one line to avoid having to format it manually, (like me):

i wrote this CLI tool that uses sqruff to format sql within sqlx macros

I‘m sorry but you posts and their frequency make it kinda look like an LLM is steering your account 😅

Can you tell me how many Rs there are in the word strawberry?

My guess is that most of the use cases for which people buy a watch are covered out of the box: notifications, health, media control, and timers.

Nice one :)
Geometry nodes are so incredibly cool and useful!

6 if you, while learning, just clone everything. Took about a week to ship the first feature with it. Compared to two days in go.
