Something I've always wondered... How do downstream DB integrations like Fivetran or other ELT services play with SQLite? It seems like that's another consideration for running it in production at a real company.

This is a good example of the F in FUD marketing. I hope to never work for a company that has to scare people into using a worse product.

I think it goes even further. I'm not sure if it's unique to developers, but many have tools and vendors that they HATE or LOVE with an irrational passion. HATE - Seems often about tools or vendors that they had no choice in, but

Dumb questions: 1. I'm assuming all these HTTP API's use HTTP/2? 2. What is the real-world difference between using websockets and http for the Neon API?

Don't you work for Planetscale? Why are you saying "they"? Were you affected by the layoffs?

Chemo has tons of well-known long term negative effects. The idea with replacing Chemo with Blina is that it has a measurable similar short term effect (get rid of the bad cells) with less (so far) long term effects.

This has been my experience firsthand in the system too. Childhood cancer (mostly Leukemia) treatment in the USA is a well-organized country-wide clinical study aimed, at this point, at carefully reducing the amount of high-intensity chemo

So polyscale is an edge-based cache for your DB. I immediately scrolled to the "Cache Invalidation" section, since that's the hard bit. TL;DR - They also have you route your writes through Polyscale, and they watch the data b
