Great questions!
1. Yes schema and data via "copy on write". This will let you instantly create test environments, backups, and run CI/CD. There is a long video here that shows a prototype with GitLab: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=JVCN9X-vO1g&t=1s https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=JVCN9X-vO1g&t=1s.
2. We don't have this feature at the launch, but Matthias van de Meent
is already working on it. We will publish and RFC and solicit comments from the community.
3. We are working on two: regional read replicas and consistent multi-region writes (together with Dan Abadi who helped design FaunaDB). Former is much, MUCH easier.
4. An obvious one is a time machine - we want to allow you query at LSN (or timestamp). A less obvious one is templates: you can start your project with a pre-populated database. We will allow you to create and publish such "templates". Disclaimer - it might not be called templated when we ship it.
- rattray 4y agoFor those unfamiliar, LSN is "Log Sequence Number", a pointer to a location in the WAL (Write-Ahead Log). https://www.postgresql.org/docs/current/datatype-pg-lsn.html https://www.postgresql.org/docs/current/datatype-pg-lsn.html
