Any job not burning the equivalent energy of Argentina to accomplish a technical feat that could be done better with psql running on a raspberry pi.

I've seen Postgresql tested on a Raspberry Pi. Performance is bad, but if you don't have much writing going on it might do as a slave.

i'd love to see raw, command-line psql added to these benchmarks

Postgres is free.

Or Postgres.

In all fairness, you could use something other than Postgres that's also ACID.

Almost. It'd be boring if it'd handle these Postgres connections efficiently for me instead of making me rely on workarounds.

Personal goal: Build an entire SPA running on PostGres. No microservices, no CAP, no reverse proxy, no caching, just a boring boring app that works.

I use postgres on my raspberry Pi 3B as my development server (along with PostgREST and Nginx) and it has served me faithfully for more than a year. Many people are surprised to see the setup and how fast it is to spin up a backend server. The response time is also pretty good and it's amazing to see such a tiny machine pull off such a feat.

Hardware is cheaper. Running postgres!

Postgres is there.

It’s Postgres.

Antwan | karma 452 | avg karma 9.22 · | 2016-12-19 07:28:54

No Postgres, no Piwik.

fijiaarone | karma 229 | avg karma 0.6 · | 2023-09-22 16:59:55

It’s the opposite. A Kubernetes solution for Postgres.

I use pg-boss, plugs really nicely into Postgres.

I think those can be MySQL if that matters, unfortunately no postgres.

natvert | karma 322 | avg karma 2.8 · | 2016-04-01 07:02:23+00:00

psql already won.

Postgres is free

Being able to run self contained postgres with a single command is an easy ergonomic win. You don't necessarily need to be an engineer or write code for containers to be useful.

Oh, a postgres disk controler / fs / storage engine would be an interesting project.
