I'm surprised people still use postgresql from homebrew. Like honestly, I use brew for any CLI command only like zsh and git. Well maybe some programming language as well but I would never, ever install database with it unless I'm desperate. Anything that can be dockerized, just use docker.

Postgres from Homebrew used to work extremely well. It was faster and more reliable than Docker, not to mention lighter on your machine.

Now, it's unusable.

If you've only got a Mac with 256gb of storage, then throwing away ~100gb on containers is a nightmare

[smoldesu]

...because your other 156 gigs are being eaten up by Xcode. Seriously, why the hell does Apple even sell 256gb laptops these days?

[physicsguy]

For me it's just my personal one I've had for a few years, I couldn't really afford to spend more when I bought it as I was a student. I think the new MBPs start at 512gb now

I use and love Postgres.app on macOS, separate instances of lots of versions of postgres at the click of a button.

Docker has a considerable barrier to entry if you've never used it before. Flatpack has horrible download sizes and result in non-standard invocation command lines.

You’re right. Some of us only realized our mistake when it was too late.
