Yeah and only 6 years ago, which is nothing in the span life databases historically. It's not like DBs are a new tech. Making a decision on DB is somewhat foundational for a lot of system architecture, in that you expect to be able to use it for years. It is not like some UI framework you toss out every 18 months. So the benefits of the new hyped thing may be outweighed by the unknowns & risk of flaming out. This is the kind of hype cycle that gives me pause when a new hot thing like DuckDB which actually ticks a TON of boxes for me, but has attracted some of the usual suspects in my work network that I consider to be contra signals.
