fair point about the slower response times But Neon's not just any Postgres. They've got that whole serverless angle, which can be a game-changer for scaling and costs. Maybe the team's still figuring out how to optimize for that setup? Plus, with Neon, they probably ditched that whole SQLite-in-git headache.

Game changer for scaling and costs? It’s an 80 MB database that needs to get duplicated by n developers and a test and production instance. They could get away with a $200 beelink under a desk. I see no reason to prematurely scale. I would focus on making things fast and creating a “duplicate database” button so devs can work without interrupting prod
