Very clunky compared with things like CockroachDB.
Ultimately using something like Postgres in 2024 is just an on-ramp for expensive managed cloud database services, which is probably why it's promoted so much.
- refset 3y ago> which is probably why it's promoted so much I think what you're actually observing is simply that Postgres is by far the most vendor-neutral DBMS (/API) available, and therefore the volume of conversation & marketing around it stacks up very disproportionately. In contrast, asides from MySQL all other DBMS options require getting invested in ~one company and relying entirely on the whims & fortunes of their commercial support organisation.
