Can you point an EdgeQL 'server' at, say, an Amazon RDS Postgres cluster?

  No. Some of the features required us to slightly modify Postgres, but we'll be trying to upstream the changes.

    > An occasional post tracking the status of that upstreaming effort would be very welcome. We've already found a few bugs in Postgres and upstreamed fixes for them. There is a patch or two from us in their review pipeline right now.

Some of them, like strict parsing of timezone-aware vs naïve datetimes can be upstreamed (as a configurable option) if the Postgres community accepts it. It's in our interest to upstream things like that :) We'll see how it goes.
