Our great sponsors
  • InfluxDB - Power Real-Time Data Analytics at Scale
  • WorkOS - The modern identity platform for B2B SaaS

  • If you want to just give it a spin, check out https://supabase.io.

    I like to think we're the "easiest way to get started with Postgres" - spinning up a free Postgres database, and giving you everything you need (including an "airtable-like" dashboard) within 2 mins of signing up.

    We also make it simple to use some of the awesome features of Postgres like Row Level Security and extensions.

    (Disclosure: employee/cofounder). Also, that's the first time I've seen "post geese" auto correct and it's amazing

  • Then I guess my point about UDB doesn't require schema change will still stand then? Looking at https://github.com/facebookarchive/linkbench, the table structure looks pretty much "final". And judging by https://dom.as/2015/07/30/on-order-by-optimization/, the access pattern is pretty much fixed as well.
