Why uber ditched postgres for mysql: What every developer can learn from it
Vitess MySQL sharding at hyperscale. Used by YouTube, Slack, and more. Basically MySQL on steroids for distributed environments.

Hacking the Postgres Wire Protocol
> I am wondering, why it took so long for something like this to happen for Postgres
> We were thinking about adding PostgreSQL support to Vitess several years ago. However, we realized that it would be more efficient if each tool was focused on a specific task.

You Can Make Postgres Scale
Apart from being backed by Postgres instead of MySQL, is this different from Vitess (and its commercial vendor PlanetScale)?

MySQL at Uber
Never tried myself, but there is Vitess as well that should do what you ask - not sure about the limitations. https://vitess.io/

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.

Building with Bolt: My Journey with AI-Powered Development
How Bolt Changed My Development Workflow Bolt fundamentally transformed how I build software. Instead of writing long spec docs or setting up boilerplate from scratch, I shifted to writing clear, structured prompts. I would describe the behavior, UI structure, and data logic, and let Bolt generate React components, Supabase queries, and edge function handlers for me.

PostgreSQL Branching: Xata vs. Neon vs. Supabase - Part 2
In Part 1 we dissected how each platform branches a Postgres database under the hood. This post zooms in on pricing. We’ll explore how Xata, Neon, and Supabase pricing strategies stack up when you require:

PostgreSQL Branching: Xata vs. Neon vs. Supabase - Part 1
Multiple platforms have emerged to tackle this, each with a unique approach. Neon popularized the idea of copy-on-write branches in Postgres, letting teams spin up full data copies in seconds. Supabase integrated database branching with git workflows, providing full-stack preview environments for every feature branch. With our new PostgreSQL platform at Xata, we’ve reimagined branching from the ground up to address the limitations we saw in existing solutions.

Supabase alternative for AI Code editors (Cursor, Bolt, Lovable...)
Supabase is a well-know BaaS (Backend as a Service) based on PostgreSQL and giving built-in features like auth or storage. Nevertheless, even if Supabase is an amazing product on its own, linking your AI-generated frontend to a Supabase backend can be tricky for many reasons:
