Nikita | Scaling Postgres
@nikitabase
CEO @neondatabase. Best Postgres for developers and vibe coders.
Database architecture thread. Technical. There has been several startups building an operational relational databases focused on OLTP with a shared nothing architecture. @neondatabase is using a different approach - shared storage. What's the difference?
DX of Neon branches for dev workflows is top of class and we're shipping two big improvements - one next week and one soon after.
We use @neondatabase so we have one shared dev db and individual branches and be made for isolated testing and schema migrations per dev. We only do this on as needed basis.
Been using @neondatabase for a few days and it's 🔥 ✅ Instant branching ✅ Autoscaling ✅ Point-in-time restore ✅ Handles vectors too (bye Pinecone 👋) ✅ Zero config Postgres It just works. Give it a shot → neon.com #Postgres #Neon #Serverless #DevTools #sql
“We replaced both Pinecone and RDS with Neon, and latency dropped from 200ms to 80ms with a much simpler setup" Turns out, Postgres + pgvector was all that they needed: neon.com/blog/vecstore-…
During an SVB crisis @ramtinnaimi offered a check at the last round price with full conviction. It gave us the confidence we would ride through the storm. Thank you my friend and well deserved!

Integrate Neon branches into your dev workflow with the new Neon VS Code extension
Life just got easier for VS Code users: we just shipped an extension (Neon Local Connect) that lets you connect to any Neon branch over localhost. Branch, test, and reset your Postgres DB right from VS Code:
So good
To put it mildly, the past week at Windsurf has been crazy. There have been a lot of different rumors and reports, so I want to share a transparent account of how it actually went down. Before I start, I just want to say that Varun and Douglas were great founders and this…
I'm proud of @ScottWu46 and @jeffwsurf for finding such a perfect outcome in tough times. Proud to be an early backer of @cognition_labs. Investments are always people and character first and I hope to back all the great companies that will come out of the new Cognition.

All vibe coders will eventually realize how important Time Travel database is. Incredibly hard to implement. Replit is way ahead here and the gap is only widening. Stay tuned.
In Replit every checkpoint is backed up: Go back and forward in time to see your source code and database brought back to the *exact* same state. Every operation is Atomic where every component snapshots in synchrony. A system hardened over years of blood sweat and tears.
