Really interesting. I've seen so much disagregated database work, and so so so much of that exposes postgres interfaces. But all the good stuff has been closed

Really interesting. I've seen so much disagregated database work, and so so so much of that exposes postgres interfaces. But all the good stuff has been closed source!
I'm very very excited to hear about a team taking this effort to postgres itself, in an open source fashion! From the Architecture[1] section of the README:
> A Neon installation consists of compute nodes and Neon storage engine.
> Compute nodes are stateless PostgreSQL nodes, backed by Neon storage engine.
> *Neon storage engine consists of two major components: A) Pageserver. Scalable storage backend for compute nodes. B) WAL service. The service that receives WAL from compute node and ensures that it is stored durably.
Sounds like a very reasonable disaggregation strategy. Really hope to hear about this wonderful effort for many more years. Ticks the boxes: open-source with a great service offering: nice. Rust: nice.
