We work with supabase - so your DB still deploys out to them, but we cache queries in memory so they're significantly lower latency. Since we're offloading reads, we also help handling traffic spikes, lower costs, etc.

Ah gotcha, that makes sense. My little hobby app has no need for any perf optimizations and I’m trying to minimize the surface area of technologies I incorporate.

I’ll keep you in mind for anything that does require performance! Currently I’m doing about 5 requests per day to the db layer, all from my dogfooding. With a very simple data model.
