From the teams page, the CEO of Neon is the cofounder of MemSQL/Singlestore which is one of the best database products I've used. Looks like a solid team to get this done. Very similar approach to Yugabyte (real postgres compute layer + custom scale out data layer) and many others in the OLAP space.
- ignoramous 4y agoManish Jain of dgraph.io noted that building on top of Postgres or betting on Postgres seems like a necessary condition for database startups to be successful. Some are commodotizing Postgres' wire format but implementing their own query and storage layers (like CockroachDB / Aurora / AlloyDB), while others are modifying parts of Postgres (like Timescale / EdgeDB / YugaByte), and others still are building atop it (Supabase). https://twitter.com/manishrjain/status/1496174276474732544 https://twitter.com/manishrjain/status/1496174276474732544
- manigandham 4y agoInteresting note but that seems to be recency bias with news than anything concrete. Companies from MongoDB to Snowflake to FaunaDB have been successful. Manish himself is from DGraph which is a brand new graph database with no relational to Postgres.
- nikita 4y agoThank you for the kind words Mani! Singlestore is indeed an amazing product and company. I'm really proud of it!
