- What practices do you recommend for a startup using Next.js, fullstack with tRPC vs seperate backend with express?
-
Postgres over WebSocket
That I understand.
But of course for the user of the driver it might be fine if that is 2 or more HTTP requests. I expect that is how PlanetScale does it in their transaction implementation, https://github.com/planetscale/database-js#transactions, and I know that is how Prisma Data Proxy handles it - the transaction is identified with an ID which is returned to the Client and then included in further requests for the same transaction.
It's valid tradeoff to make to prefer a persistent connection to keep the overhead for multiple queries in a transaction as low as possible - which seems what Neon has done here.

Typesafe Database Queries on the Edge
The PlanetScale team recently released their database driver which lets your query your PlanetScale database using the Fetch API. This means you can use this library to query your database in edge environments which is HUGE.

A MySQL compatible database engine written in pure Go
With Vitess likely merging a lot of its binaries into a single unified binary: https://github.com/vitessio/vitess/issues/7471#issuecomment-...
... it would be a wild future if Vitess replaced the underlying MySQL engine with this as long as the performance is good enough.

The challenges of supporting foreign key constraints
Thank you for the compliment!
We recently started adding support for CTEs in Vitess! You can check out https://github.com/vitessio/vitess/pull/14321 if you want to see some technical details of the implementation.
For now, we have added preliminary support by converting them to derived tables internally, but we believe that we need to make CTEs first-class citizens themselves of query planning. Once we make that change, we can look towards supporting recursive CTEs.
This however will take some time, but then, all good things do!

Why would it be a Google project? https://github.com/vitessio/vitess

PlanetScale Scaler Pro
This is great news. I strolled around https://github.com/vitessio/vitess/issues/12967.
Are there any public discussions of more trade-offs vitess has to make to enable fks?

What is the best database technology to use to create a new chat app today?
MySQL + Vitess I noticed Slack gets by using MySQL because they're using Vites. From Slack's post (https://slack.engineering/scaling-datastores-at-slack-with-vitess/) it seems like they choose Vites because it facilitated a smooth transition because it's built on top of MySQL.

How can I avoid duplicate API calls in a serverless infra?
This sounds very similar to the connection pooling done by vitess https://vitess.io/.

Want to avoid MySQL but find PlanetScale really appealing
A lot of this is possible thanks to the magic of Vitess.
