TechEmpower Web Framework Benchmarks – Round 22

My observations:

6 of the top 10 are rust. 4 of the top 10 are postgres.

Postgres needs little explanation given its history and Stonebraker's reputation.

I now understand why teams I've occupied had the strange loop crowd resigning to go work on rust.

Perhaps this is a naive question, but why is PostgreSQL so incredibly dominant in these rankings?
