   Source? I haven't seen anything persuasive. And I'm not sure how this could be "easily testable" if they are being sneaky about it (using undocumented APIs in obfuscated ways, etc). BTW, I didn't claim that they do

   This general idea makes a lot of sense because the company will actually be _happy_ to have someone sit mostly idle, as long as there's always someone to fix it when it breaks. You won't have to constantly feel like you're hi

   Thanks :) FWIW I find this level of detail useful. What do you mean by "Index miss" – index cache miss (ie not in RAM)?

   Interesting, thanks. Yeah I was surprised to hear his skepticism of logical replication, but I've never operated it in production before. Curious for resources on that.

   Thanks! Very helpful, that talk looks like a (very) condensed version of what I was looking for. It looks like the video for that talk is here: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=XUkTUMZRBE8

    Among other potential issues, this would make it much harder to search for information related to the database. Starting out, it'd always make sense to google for eg "postgres ilike", but for new features you'd have to s

    I think what more they want is the dashboard, which isn't open-source or self-hostable. Sort of fair ask, but also pretty fair for Supabase not to provide that IMO. They also want better self-hosting docs, though IMO it's fair for

    Bit late to the party, but if anything this pricing makes me nervous that you won't be sustainable as a business (ie; pricing is too low, leaves you vulnerable to a few customers costing you way more than they pay). In particular, I&#x

    Docker solves a lot of problems. I don't want to use it, but I want an easy, cohesive to all those problems! Like, each type of application I have to run in my fleet needs the right environment, with proper settings, packages, etc. And
