*not because Postgres itself is broken, but because the way self-hosted Postgres is consumed is broken

I’m a founder and always get overwhelmed when it comes to finding VCs that fit our product. Over the weekend I built pickYourVC which helps to solve this. Input your startup data and see who is the best VC to lead your next round. For now only for EU founders but if you like it, I will add more data to include US too.

Frontend is done with codex and for backend I used vela, which is the Postgres backend platform that my startup is building. So it was a good way to test our product in prod.

Are you also noticing that Postgres is becoming a default database for AI workloads? Do you think this trend will continue or things will evolve over time?

I guess the abstraction levels over sql might change now with natural language processing capabilities, but I guess there will be sql somehwere down the stack always :D

I feel like these days everyone embraced the fact that SQL is here to stay and it's going to become a standard even for modern AI-driven infrastructures. That's why Postgres is booming and new ecosystem is being created around it. WDYT?

there is a middle ground where you can get NVMe-optimized networked storage with solutions like simplyblock. It gives you local-like performance but separates compute from storage and gives more options for backup & DR.

What do you think of storage space in the context of AI and cloud repatriation? Much happening with upcoming players like VAST, DDN, simplyblock or Hammerspace..
