Fantastic! I was actually looking for a buggier version of postgres that won't be supported a year. That's exactly what I was looking for.

When Neo4j and other graph databases went big in the past decade, they value they created: "finally! I don't have to faff around with RDBMS tables and Cobb purists to store and query my non-relational object-graph!" - despite the fact that Neo4j then (and still?) didn't support running serving databases concurrently or schema enforcement or even transactional atomicity (I think they fixed that recently?)
So in this context, what business-value does PolarDB add or create that makes it worthwhile to deal with its expected short-life?
Given that there’s multiple companies that exist to scale out Postgres, someone sees business value.
That’s pretty compelling, if it delivers.
Not this way.
Also, how do you know it's a 'buggier version of postgres'? have you tried PolarDB yourself?
