Exciting, remember whiteboard conversations about this years ago, and benchmarking early ideas like Turbodc :)
I could not find: Is there a list of conformant DBs & their implementation statuses? Been curious both for Flight and Flight SQL....

Just a minor distinction - Flight is lower-level and might be used to build a wire protocol for a database, but a "database supporting Flight" still requires something like Flight SQL to specify how the database expects to serve requests over Flight.
For Graphistry, we 'simply' expose Arrow-over-REST APIs for streaming/batch upload+download, so no Flight needed, and that's why we didn't build Flight into the original JS Arrow lib. But as we're getting into bigger graphs / multi GPU and wanting parallel IO for DB connectors, been watching...
Here, the Flight SQL spec landed ahead of implementations, so that's why there's nothing to list yet. I would stay tuned to hear what people do with this. (I can't speak to any plans myself, though.)
