I get your point, and attitude such as "lol who needs ops, developers can do it" can lead to really shitty situations indeed. On the other hand, you have developers / small teams who are just trying to get things off the grou

Well, relatively speaking Postgre might have lower adoption than MySQL, although I am not too sure about it. However, if you look at the absolute numbers, Postgre has huge adoption, even if it is smaller than MySQL's. So it doesn'

Are you using some sort of leverage (haven't heard about leverages for btc though)? Looking at btc price movements, it seems that you need either 1) very high bankroll or 2) loads of transactions to make it work, as minute/hour pr
