Foundation DB Record Layer SQL API
The five second timeout remains and trickles through to apply to Postgres transactions instead. This project would very much be for OLTP, so not really fit for using Postgres for OLAP or hybrid workloads.
The N+1 issue is a really interesting one which I have a plan for but haven't implemented yet. FoundationDB has what they call mapped ranges [0] to help with this, which works in some cases. More generally, one should make sure to issue read request as soon as possible and not on-demand, given that FoundationDB clients have a futures-based design. This is slightly tricky in Postgres because internally it has a pull-based model where one tuple is pulled from the execution plan at a time, so one needs to implement pre-fetching and not make a read against FDB each time a new tuple is pulled.

Pwning the Ladybird Browser
I'm honestly not at all familiar with browsers but I really do wonder if a custom language wouldn't be a reasonable tradeoff. It's not all that insane as that is a path that has been walked before. For instance FoundationDB has their own syntax to manage their actor system which just transpiles to C++: https://github.com/apple/foundationdb/blob/main/flow/README....
V8 also has torque which I think to some degree also fits into that type of mindset.

Figma's Databases team lived to tell the scale
Actually, Apple does this for iCloud! They use FoundationDB[1] to store billions of databases, one for each user (plus shared or global databases).

How FoundationDB works and why it works
> Any meaningful technology is open source.
Clearly untrue, however FoundationDB is open source, with a permissive license.

So is much of the operational tooling for it:

FoundationDB: A Distributed Key-Value Store
I don't recall any of those details but the test involved injecting a bogus block device that always returns garbage, and noting that this results in garbage records returned from client queries. And I don't think those kinds of issues have been eradicated, browsing through their github issues there are people trying to recover corrupted clusters. https://github.com/apple/foundationdb/issues/2480
