   Project mention: You Can Make Postgres Scale | news.ycombinator.com | 2025-03-14

   https://github.com/shrinerb/shrine/discussions/665

   I've never personally encountered this, but I've seen other HN contributors mention it.

   From what I can tell, unlike mongo, some postgres queries will try to update the entire JSONB data object vs a single field. This can lead to race conditions.

   Her is an ORM (Object Relational Mapper) that maps REST resources to Ruby objects. It is designed to build applications that are powered by a RESTful API instead of a database.
