Ohh husbant... You founded a database company and sell each database for less than it costs to run it... Now we are homeless

He did a live stream and went on for 20 mins about how profitable he is.

Friendly reminder to all the Postgres providers. If you’ve ever felt insecure about your database business. Just remember, it’s not doing well financially either.

“Welcome back, you’ve been in a coma for 5 years” “How profitable is supabase now? 100 million net profit? 200?” “Actually they just raised 500m to cover their free plan growth”

Have you guys tried this? Works very well.

If you think some of these VC stories are bad. In a few years I’ll share what a guy like me had to go through to get $100m.

AvgDB has raised $10B at a 500M valuation In this round we are giving @avgdatabase employees 25% off their next Uber Eats order, up to $15 a small merit increase tied to inflation. On top of that, this raise will allow us to keep our free tier going indefinitely, as well as buy a new office for the team so we can do our best work whether it’s on the high seas on the top deck or on the helipad

Regarding the supabase 10B valuation LOL to Nikita. If your company didn’t go bankrupt and have to get bailed out by Databricks, you could have helped more than just yourself get rich. Sold out right before the AI revolution.

The Neon Postgres experience.

This has happened too often with production traffic. I need an alternative. Send recs.

Another Neon “downtime DB” customer migration. lol

It’s been eye-opening to see the pain one of our competitor Postgres services has caused to customers we are working with. I’ve never seen anything like this for an OLTP Postgres database: connection dropouts, restarts, outages, and more and all of this every few weeks! At the same time, there are all these wild claims about the “fastest Postgres”, how agents need millions of databases, and more. The essential trait of any Postgres/OLTP database, whether in the AI world or before it, is simple: It should never ever crash! The stories we’re hearing from customers are absolutely wild. I really hate commenting on competitors like this, but I couldn’t resist this one mainly because of the pain they are causing and all the marketing misinformation around!

Everyone in our industry hears this as we all pick customers away from Neon. They are negligent and it’s hilarious they plan to get into compute next.
