You're right of course, databases are scary. And they're the foundation of your application so they have to work and always work. We get that.
If you're asking in [2] how it can compete with Postgres on Stability, Community, Documentation, of course it can't yet. Postgres didn't have them when it started either. But the feature set is compelling and if enough people want those features then these signs of maturity will emerge as well.
To answer question [1], I am the technical founder and I presented the core technology as Kayia.org at the Future of Programming Workshop at StrangeLoop a little over a year ago. I wasn't qualified to do this research when I started but after knocking at the right door long enough, it opened. I'm happy to work with HN on TDD.
It's early for Brodlist, yes, and I understand your point about needing certainty but please give us the opportunity to make something you'll both love and know you can rely on.
- pjlegato 11y ago"We can't compete with Postgres yet, but please fund us anyway and we'll surely figure it out later" is not exactly a compelling plan that makes me want to invest. I suggest that you need to work out how you plan to compete, at least in general terms, before you ask people for money to do it. "Just trust me" is not going to get you very far.
- david927 11y agoI didn't say that and I'm starting to not be sure that you're being objective. The feature set listed above easily beats Postgres by any measure expect maturity. Your question asked how it competes on maturity -- how old is it? It's new. We're applying for the YC Fellowship which funds prototype stage companies.
