    Postgresql JDBC Driver

    Virtual threads are great but db drivers still have to tweak (mainly to remove synchronized I/O) to be compatible with loom. Postgres just recently merged the changes for loom https://github.com/pgjdbc/pgjdbc/issues/1951

  • Exposed

    Kotlin SQL Framework

    This falls apart as soon as you need to chain transactions across multiple services/DAOs. You end up making everything non-suspend or use suspendTransaction and have to pass the parent txn around which isn’t ideal (https://github.com/JetBrains/Exposed/issues/1477)

  • InfluxDB

    Power Real-Time Data Analytics at Scale. Get real-time insights from all types of time series data with InfluxDB. Ingest, query, and analyze billions of data points in real-time with unbounded cardinality.
