Much like I can’t take Prisma seriously because they shipped an ORM that couldn’t do JOINs, I can’t take any database seriously that can’t manage ACID. “bUt wE haVe BAsE.” Cool story. Relational databases are some of the oldest and best-tested pieces of software that exist. I trust them more than anything else - if you write it, it is persisted, full stop.

Schema management is the single worst part of deployments.

If I build on DynamoDB vs RDS I can save 10x.
