Hey Nikita! I was just looking at the docs but I was a bit confused about what the various compute instances were doing. Do they all serve reads and writes? If so, is there data partitioning or does this support distributed transactions?

Various compute instances are different endpoints to separate databases. So for now it's single writer system. You can get a lot of power out of a 128 core compute node. In the future will will also spin up extra compute to scale reads.

In the future after that future we will introduce data partitioning - we have a cool design for it, but one step at a time.

Ah got it thanks! And what's the consistency on the instances that serve reads?

Super interested in this space since we're always looking for ways to evolve our pg!

Ignore this. I misread your previous reply (￣ー￣；
