Database architecture thread. Technical. There has been several startups building an operational relational databases focused on OLTP with a shared nothing architecture. @neondatabase is using a different approach - shared storage. What's the difference?

One challenge w/running serverless in DB space is sometimes people find the pricing too good to believe.

Am I reading @neondatabase pricing correctly? It's 5 GB of egress per project on the free tier and you can have 100 projects? Whereas @supabase gives 5 GB total? And then paying Supabase gives you 250 GB of egress total and Neon gives 500 GB per project. What am I missing here?

Nice example of fast app with @vercel + @neondatabase (including new BM25 full-text search extension lakebase_text)

@neondatabase is surprisingly popular pick for vector stores by agent.

@neondatabase is #1 choice in managed databases for agents. These agents are onto something!
