Message DB: Event Store and Message Store for PostgreSQL

You obviously need to write queries which span tables (I.e. joins).

I can see how you misunderstood me there however, it was admittedly poorly worded.

What I was talking about was basic data hygine as it's often called. If you need specific data, you define a clear way to get this data and only access it through that API. This can be a class, method or anything your language of choice prefers.

If you skip that step and directly access the DB everywhere in your code, you'll create another unmaintainable dumbsterfire as soon as your team goes beyond the initial programmers.

Having scaled up the tech in a company from $0 to $10+MM ARR, from zero customers to over 300 million records a day, I think you are simply incorrect and uninformed about the trade-offs that make sense in a startup.
