Hehe. Yes and no.
In the cloud, as you probably know, the usual way now is to spin up Postgres separately (RDS, Supabase, Planetscale, Crunchy Bridge, you name it). We've gotten so used to it that a different way of doing it is often not even considered.
But I think tooling has come a long way, and there have been a lot of learnings from the cloud, so it's time to swing the pendulum back and reconsider assumptions!
