I appreciate your response. I am actually surprised about the need of pg_lakehouse by large companies. I expected that they would choose one of the prominent data warehouses (snowflake, bq, etc.) or query engines on top of s3 (athena, trino

Could you elaborate on this? What work does it require or missing features to be more production-ready? Most startups start with postgres/mysql, probably build some customer-facing analytical reports, and stay with the same setup until

Why just elders? I see modern start ups and companies, ran by 30/40yo C-suite mandating return to the office.

It’s funny that in Greece we have a similar situation with take away coffee places. There are just too many almost on every corner. And to make it relevant to the article, the last couple years people open coffee-hybrid businesses, like bar

I have read in some other post that it’s not about the on-call and development overhead, but the potential operational burden to the company or its customers. What about some bad algorithm which causes millions of dollars in revenue or some
