Great move on Google's part marketing-wise with all the discussions about Amazon using other tools' api layers and then doing whatever they please underneath without upstreaming. Sure, yes yes, they might just be solving very specific hardware/network issues for the most part only relevant to their data centers but still. Google, please don't let this announcement be marketing fluff alone! That said, I hope Google/GCP partners with the Postgres team sometime in the near future as well! And lastly a sidenote (kind of unrelated): there are enough big players in Chromium now with Microsoft and their Edge wrapper that just like how V8 is now, Chromium at el. (the whole "bundle") needs to try and remain as democratic as possible moving forward. Thinking of [1].

> That said, I hope Google/GCP partners with the Postgres team sometime in the near future as well! I had the same thought. Cloud SQL Postgres still does not offer point-in-time-recovery, which makes it a non-starter for many use-cases. I'm not sure "the Postgres team" is a commercial entity you can do business with, and probably one of the best commercial entities, Citus Data - was recently acquired by Microsoft but there are others I'm sure, but maybe not any as close to the core team as the companies they announced today.
