So it’s simple or complex because I got confused ;)
KISS is ALWAYS good. But simplicity doesn’t mean easy or naïve solutions. Naïve solutions get very complex since the initial input is low and they don’t cover edge cases by design making it tangled mess.
Simple solutions are often very difficult to create, require a lot of input to be simple, but they cover a lot of cases behind the curtains and are easy to describe.
Your “use Postgres” strategy is more KISS than doing complex mocking. Sure, initial effort is higher, but using well known, powerful yet ergonomic singular entity is as simple as one can get on some levels. It’s equivalent of “just use Excel for it”.
I agree with you, but I think tagline is misplaced.
