Re:How Figma's databases team lived to tell the scale on Thursday March 14, 2024 @06:00PM (#39709460)
This is possible to do, but lots of engineering. You can provide the experience of a single DB while each tenant can be placed in their own dedicated Postgres compute. This would help the application to stay the same while tenants are moved to independent computes (you can even move only a few tenants and leave the rest on a shared Postgres compute).

Re:AWS cancels serverless Postgres service that scales to zero on Wednesday January 10, 2024 @04:39PM (#38943601)
I am the CEO of Nile. We are serverless Postgres built explicitly for modern SaaS workloads. We do provide true serverless with no cold start time. We are able to do this because we made Postgres tenant aware. We hope to share more details on how we do it soon. https://www.thenile.dev/
