Shard

It gives compression, right? It gives storage, like you give you, it gives you like five to 10 times, like lesser storage footprint and all of that, right? So this is one answer for that storage where we're seeing customers use Postgres and ClickHouse to power their operational use cases as well, like transactional operational use cases.

Second, Nick, is stay tuned for something on Sharding and stuff like that.

And stay tuned.

I won't tell you what's going on, but like we are actively thinking about it and you might hear something in relation to that soon.

Overall, the community expressed interest in the API's potential while remaining wary of dependence on large providers.

Title, Neki, Sharded Postgres, Source, Planetscale.com.

The article announced Neki, a new sharded Postgres database from Planetscale, built from eight years of experience with large mescal clusters.

It offers a way to scale Postgres across many machines while maintaining real Postgres on each shard with the application connecting via the standard Postgres wire protocol.
