> scales a very long way
replyThis ignores the fine print. It scales a very long way under specific circumstances with specific workloads. The more write-heavy your workload the less eloquently Postgres scales.
For OpenAI's use case you could swap Postgres with MySQL and it would scale just as well.
If your DB is write heavy, tune it for writes...
replyYou can't tune your way out of this constraint. The heap table and MVCC implementation put a hard ceiling on what can be accomplished without reaching for another tool.
