    The top concern I've gotten from dev teams when proposing HA distributed postgres (e.g through RDS Aurora global) is that eventual consistency is not suitable for many workloads.Does Neki solve for this, and if so how? My understanding of CAP theorem is that this basically requires some compromises around availability, but I'm curious as to what that looks like in practice here.

    I love to see this but as a heavy Vitess/MySQL user I do fear the split focus from PlanetScale. Hoping to see continued improvements on the Vitess side as well.Selfish doubts aside, congrats to Planetscale on the launch!

    Obviously welcome more tools for Postgres and sharding but it’s a tough hill to climb against the hyper clouds. Best wishes to the team.

    Pretty exciting to see a sharded Postgres product in the market.The pitch is compelling. I wonder how many teams will be able to operate sharded database setups in production as a result of this.

    The first question came to my mind was, how would this compare against Citus.

    Independent of the product, love the branding design for this page.

    is this open-sourced?

    I see no mention of foreign keys, or any other constraints, across shards. If, as I suspect, they're not implemented, it would still be useful but at the level of Spanner 10 years ago.

    only planet scale? Rookie numbers.I am looking for interdimensional and interuniversal scale. Which of you trust fund babies has a startup which is working on this problem?
