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!

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.

Why PostgreSQL High Availability Matters and How to Achieve It
pg_auto_failover makes it an absolute breeze. I cannot understand how it's not mentioned in the article.
I've been runnning it for 3 years with great success - https://github.com/hapostgres/pg_auto_failover/discussions/6...

Can someone share experience configuring Highly Available PgSQL?
Simplified and probably OK: pg_auto_failover - One Monitor/Witness node and minimum services otherwise. Good documentation to get started and not nearly as complex as Patroni.
-
PG redundancy even in majority failure
There are tools that make managing such a system easier. Check out patroni, pg_auto_failover or PAF

The C++ Asynchronous Framework
This is /extremely/ uncharitable. It depends more on the project.
For example, both Go and .NET are very well written with comprehensible documentation. Many projects have also been absorbed by the Apache Foundation or other FOSS initiatives.
Every FANG has boat loads of teams working on umpteen different open source packages. The quality naturally varies.
Let me pick two more esoteric projects as a point of comparison.
Yandex Odyssey (https://github.com/yandex/odyssey) an advanced multi-threaded PostgreSQL connection pooler and request router. Figuring out how exactly and when to use this is not quite clear. There is no "getting started" guide for this package. There is barely any explanation for how it works or what it does.
pg_auto_failover (https://github.com/citusdata/pg_auto_failover) run by Citus (owned by Microsoft) monitors and manages automated failover for a Postgres cluster. This repo even has diagrams explaining the workflow and complete instructions.

Do you use Percona Distribution for PostgreSQL? How is it working for you?
Right, https://github.com/citusdata/pg_auto_failover has been on my reading list

Simpler Postgresql replication setup (NO managed services)
My go to for this is https://github.com/citusdata/pg_auto_failover set up with ansible https://github.com/neuroforgede/pg\_auto\_failover\_ansible
