There are projects that use LSMTs as the storage engine for RDBMS' (like RocksDB); I'm not sure it's accurate to say "they can't be use as an RDMBS".

Development apps are exempt from the requirement. (They are also limited to 100 accounts)

Multiple databases in postgres fundamentally share the same underlying infrastructure (i.e., WAL), and so do not offer much in terms of scalability or blast-radius protection compared to putting all tables in the same database.

I'm surprised to see the Portal listed. We have one for letting the grandparents talk to the kids, and it is the most unreliable piece of technology I've owned. Constant connection issues and laggy UI.

I find it pretty odd to speculate that they are experiencing a very specific failure mode of a particular database. Do you even know whether they use Postgres?

Do you have a source for that?

Perhaps I misinterpreted this part? > I struggle to consider using it as a data store these days as well with other options on the table. It sounds like you wouldn't use it for any purposes.

What would you use redis for, if anything?

You can do something like: CREATE TABLE xx AS SELECT * FROM EXTERNAL_QUERY('postgres.db', 'SELECT * FROM my_table'));

This is partially due to liability: if someone slips on a wet spill and hurts themselves, Whole Foods is liable if they haven't been taking reasonable measures to clean up such spills in a timely fashion (1/hour). Scanning is a w

Charging at night isn't great for using solar power without storage. Ideally, we'd incentivize people to use their car's battery to store excess solar power during the day and smooth out the duck curve (perhaps slowly rechar
