There are RARE exceptions.
AirTable developed their own DB, but their case may be justified. I listened to an interview with a founder once - very thoughtful and reasonable. They fully understood what they were getting into.
But by default, NEVER:
* Write your own DB
* Write your own search engine to match ElasticSearch or other serious technologies
It will take over your life, and then ruin it.
- tablet 3y agoNot sure why they needed own DB. Fibery.io has similar domain and we built everything on Postgres. Works like a charm and you even don't have Airtable bases connectivity problem. We have schema-per-customer and table-per-entity-type model, performance is quite good.
