    I love how the Planetscale CEO has been shitting on multigres[0], Supabase's equivalent to Neki, and gloating about how superior Neki is, and yet Neki is not even open source!Sam, it feels like you're just playing games. It's hard to take anything you say or do seriously. Are you going to OSS this thing? Or have you decided to backpedal?Congrats on the checks notes closed launch, I guess?0: https://github.com/multigres/multigres

    Folks, in your launch posts remember to describe what you're launching and what it's for. Ideally in the opening paragraph.- Intro: Explains problem but not what is Neki or what it's for.- Why Neki: Explains alternatives and why they suck but not what is Neki or what it's for.- How does Neki work: Describes the technical components but not what is Neki or what it's for.- What you get beyond sharding: Explains how to run/deploy but not what is Neki or what it's for.- What is a platform preview + Try Neki today: 140 words on the definition of "preview" and links to get started... but not what is Neki or what it's for.Edit: The landing page has 100x more useful information up front -> https://neki.dev/Edit #2: They've since added a "What is Neki" section. Good reaction time.

    The tech might be amazing, but the CEO comes across as an asshole

    I need this for my side project that has zero users, but I wonder if Neki will scale well enough.

    I am on a 12 Muni right now that is plastered with a Neki ad, and I looked up neki.dev literally 10 mins ago to see what this product is about. Did they time the release of this bus ad with the launch date?

    Is this going to be open sourced? I thought this was the plan at the start. But ow I am confused.

    Man, I was deep into this blog post before I was able to answer the question "what is Neki?".

    Neki is a sharded Postgres implementation. It introduces one level of indirection between the application and the Postgres shards.Found this from neki.dev.

    Cool, but we're on MySQL - anything similar available? Percona XtraDB?

    How does Neki compare to https://pgdog.dev/?

    A C2 level diagram included in the blog post would be helpful. What are the drawbacks to using Neki aside from the obvious (new software has bugs)?

    What does this compete with? Google Cloud SQL?

    Will this be open source at some point?

    It's not Open Source Software. So, I'm not even interested. Lol

    Site design is tight. I like it.
