hyper_cubeon Multigres: Vitess for Postgres

I am interested in the extension question too. What kind of challenge that will present.

hyper_cubeon Why PostgreSQL needs a better API for alternative table engines?

This is great because it helps with understanding why for some long-standing projects it may not be feasible to incrementally change toward new API. And, it can be worth considering pioneering new breaking change versions that would bring new capabilities into being.

hyper_cubeon Packaging Supabase with Nix

Author here:

Happy to answer questions.

I've been enjoying the journey of bringing Nix into the supabase community. There are some interesting challenges here, and we're already reaping some of the rewards. One of the most interesting and innovative things that has emerged has been to use nix to test upgrade/downgrade issues for postgres (as discussed in the blog post).

Nix has also made testing version of postgres, extensions etc in development far more streamlined, and I've spent time recently working with people internally to start to learn to leverage the ability to switch to any commit or branch, and build/run/test versions.
