OrioleDB looks interesting but the with the storage changes, the issue will be the compatability with other extensions. pg_search (paradedb), timescale come to mind. We have seen this issue with YugabyteDB, and their integration off RocksDB

DuckDB is a columnar database, and columnar DBs are way better for analytics, statistics... That is its main reason for its popularity, the ability to run specific workloads that row based databases will struggle/be slower at. Nothing

Its been a few years when i last worked with WP. But the performance issue is because they store a ton of the data in a key value store, instead of table with fixed columns. This can result in a ton of individual row hits on your database,

Why do you need to buy more expensive hardware? The thing is, if you run a old Xeon server, and compare that performance vs modern consumer level hardware. Unless you are bought a 50~64 core server (and the power bill to match), your often

A ton of stuff in PHP is mostly templating + DB calls for a lot of websites. If you combine Go + Templ for instance, your "if err" are mostly on the DB calls. What you needed to check in PHP anyway. Yes, the if err != nil is extre

The problem as pointed out by the author in the link, is that there simply is no storage solution that sits between a SATA HDD (cheapest 0.15 Euro/TB) > NVME (0.45 Euro/TB). Technically, SATA SSD's need to fill this spot a
