Sure, Postgres works great and it's not our competition. The idea is that you'll store all of your static stuff in Postgres, and all of your dynamic objects in SpaceBase. We've been approached by companies that need to track thousands of vehicles, each updating its location every second or so, and Postgres just couldn't handle it. For LBSs, SpaceBase complements Postgres.



E-mail us and we'll gladly send you a trial version.


Yeah postgres would fall down pretty fast on that workload without sharding, and it's the kind of ephemeral data that doesn't need ACID semantics.

Do you have a trial? Or other demo? I may be encountering those kinds of problems in the near future and would like to see whats out there. Right now Postgres is perfect for our workload but we've crafted the problem we're solving to avoid the realtime issue.
