I tried putting Postgres on JuiceFS and let's just say.. it didn't perform very well

Is that a use case they are really targeting though? Their splash page mentions big data with model generation and genomic sequencing as examples. I can really only speak to genetic sequencing. The IO pattern for these workflows is almost all streaming reads/writes. Random access takes too long when you are reading/writing 100-500GB files.
Postgres doesn’t like running in NFS either to be fair.

Yes, JuiceFS is not a good choice for PG, unless if you don't care the performance.
One interesting use case is the backup of MySQL [1].

Is that still the case after this? Or is it tribal knowledge?
