“Just Use Postgres For Everything” It feels like it’s everywhere at the moment, the recent surge from developers isn’t just a battle cry; it’s a revolution. People often talk about “how” to use PostgreSQL for everything, but no one has actually covered the “why.” Until now. Why is this mantra being widely adopted? Why would I want a single database? Why does this affect the future of data? 🐯 Ajay Kulkarni tackles these questions head-on in our latest blog. 💪 https://lnkd.in/g-6Xw5im

I think in particular, the idea of a separate analytic platform has always been odd to me. The effort (and chance for failure therein) of "moving" instead of "flipping" is always understated when discussed in meeting rooms. In reality, these CDCs you must employ never work as seamlessly as the theory. It's hard to beat shared memory for manipulating data....and if not parity with the fastest analytics platform, for most, what's there is good enough. And parity is perhaps only one community contribution away.

I believe Postgres is "Doing the Linux", where Linux basically absorbed everyone else, IRIX (SGI), AIX (IBM), SunOs (Sun), Ultrix (DEC).
