Issue was with authenticating the requests. Pgcrypt was too much together with geospatial operations. No database instance could handle that - or it was so expensive it was not worth it.

Got it, good to know. So you moved all the geospatial operations out - what did you use? I want to make sure we can support enterprise later, even for these workloads.

Uh, We moved away from postgrest and went back to regular db + rest-service architecture.

The project (postgrest) has too many disadventages at that scale for us.
