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

Try postgreSQL next time, at least it's ACID compliant ;)

Or Postgres.

I haven't done that in decades. Has something changed recently that made it easier to create an ACID data store with static files? Last I looked, ACID was tricky enough with static files that it was easier just to use PostgreSQL.

Is this DB ACID compliant? This is a major omission from the article, as I was considering this as a replacemnt for PostGres SQL As-A-Service offerings.

I just switched from RethinkDB to Postgres as well, although my issues were more with NoSQL than RethinkDB specifically. With JSON support in PG, and the ability to let Amazon RDS handle DB admin/scalability, I don't see any reason to sacrifice ACID compliance and security on NoSQL.

You could certainly use Postgres for everything. Zep does. But then you'd also have to build the stuff that Zep does, too.

sounds like postgres would be fine

picohen | karma 135 | avg karma 6.14 · | 2023-11-22 01:40:07

Postgres is already available :)

segmondy | karma 7167 | avg karma 2.65 · | 2015-06-11 08:15:41

I would love to see postgres in the mix.

misframer | karma 1759 | avg karma 3.74 · | 2015-05-06 00:12:00+00:00

Postgres is there.

Postgres, not Postgre.

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

Better port that sucker to Postgres sooner rather than later. You know, for future proofing.

How about PostgreSQLite? Joke aside, is anyone building something that takes a stab at fixing the issues with both?

yummyfajitas | karma 41937 | avg karma 3.52 · | 2013-09-17 12:58:16+00:00

Postgres is free.

teddyh | karma 23902 | avg karma 2.94 · | 2018-03-19 07:43:52

PostgreSQL, not Postgres.

mattdeboard | karma 5575 | avg karma 3.36 · | 2012-05-26 05:13:24+00:00

Are you implying that you can't use Postgres for web-scale services?

bmelton | karma 10722 | avg karma 2.57 · | 2023-12-14 15:39:33

This is, as well as Postgres.

Linux/Anginx/M4/Postgres, baby.
