When I saw "cloud native" I was expecting S3-ish the way Neon does it but they say it's experimental: https://github.com/orioledb/orioledb/blob/beta4/doc/usage.md... and for them to say "beta, don't use in production" and then a separate "experimental" label must make it really bad

Are you using OrioleDB in production to have those good experiences with it?

Oh sorry I didn't mean to imply I'd used it in production or it was production ready, I simply consider it to be a really promising project.

It's tackling what I see as one of the foundational weaknesses of postgres, which is the storage engine. A good number of it's downsides stem from the fundamental design of the storage layer, and if orioledb succeeds in becoming stable then there is a class of issues that would simply go away.
