    Neon: Serverless Postgres. We separated storage and compute to offer autoscaling, branching, and bottomless storage.

  • I found their docker-compose more helpful than their chart: https://github.com/neondatabase/neon/blob/main/docker-compos...

    But I also needed to read their Ansible files to understand how they manage their infra better. Those are deleted now, but luckily you can just look at the history (commit that deleted it: https://github.com/neondatabase/neon/commit/0d3d022eb1fe4a42...)

    Postgres vertical autoscaling in k8s

  • Yes, you'd have to do some own work to set up a direct competitor from the provided pieces.

  • copycat

    Generate deterministic fake values: The same input will always generate the same fake-output. (by snaplet)

    I think there are a lot of different reasons why people may want to use a service like bit.io, but if you want a database with data in it to code against, run tests against, reproduce production related data-bugs, and run e2e tests against then check out https://www.snaplet.dev.
