It's relational, it scales horizontally, and it's free. That combination is surprisingly hard to find.

- zem 6y agoi'm not a database person, but does postgres not scale horizontally?
- kasey_junk 6y agoNo. Read replication approaches linear horizontal scaling (though global latencies can lead to weird edge cases). Write replication requires external products.
- jasonhansel 6y agoSpecifically, Postgres extensions that add write sharding are generally either (a) non-FOSS commercial products or (b) not very well maintained.
