Yeah i see value but tend to agree it’s catering to an interesting segment that i don’t understand either.

More generally, I get concerned when too much functionality ends up in the db as it’s often the hardest thing to scale, so I’d prefer to spread those cycles out elsewhere. I feel this is likely to be something someone relies on and causes a production db to get pretty warm at a bad time.

It's not the hardest thing to scale anymore. Engineering teams are pretty hard to scale.

Ha, thats pretty funny. You're totally right.

I agree, but PostgreSQL is one of those projects where I'd rather have the kitchen sink in and believe it will work, almost blindly.
