Thanks for these comments, I appreciate it. Although I would point out: > scalability [...] no company would even bother with PostgreSQL at all In my experience, you can get pretty far with Postgresql on a beefy server, and when combined with monitoring, pg_stat_statements and application level caching (e.g. the user for this given request, instead of fetching that data on every layer of the request handling), certainly enough most businesses/organisations out there.
