- k__ 5y agoSo, the actual database engine is Postgres?
- 1st1 5y agoYeah, that's true - Postgres is the engine. On top of that we have a lot of infra though: our IO server (amongst other things it acts as a server-side connection pool), compilers to compile our query language to SQL behind the scenes and to enforce our type system, a migrations engine, etc. It's not that uncommon to stack DB engines on top of each other, we're just taking this concept a bit further.
