> The claim isn’t that Postgres is functionally equivalent to any of these specialized systems. The claim is that it handles 80%+ of their use cases with 20% of the development effort. (Pareto Principle)
Lots of us that built systems when SQL was the only option, know that doesn’t hold overtime.
SStable backed systems have their applications, and I have never seen dedicated Kafka teams like we used to have with DBAs
We have the tools to make decisions based on real tradeoffs.
I highly recommend people dig into the appropriate tools to select vs making pre-selected products fit an unknown problem domain.
Tools are tactics, not strategies, tactics should be changeable with the strategic needs.
