I benchmarked Postgres vs Kafka as a job queue transport in Rust.
Kafka had 77% lower per-job overhead and 40% higher throughput under real workload.
Here's the full breakdown
Columnar performance inside familiar Postgres operational workflows is exactly the kind of upgrade path teams want for time-series workloads.

The tech stack of 80% startups:
- Frontend: React (because everyone uses React)
- Backend: Whatever the CTO knew from his last job
- Database: Postgres (or Mongo if someone watched a YT tutorial)
- Auth: Copied from a blog post
- Payments: Stripe (obv)
Indian tech firms want large profit margins. They pay peanuts to their employees who are happy with React.js & postGres working in shitty places like Hyderbad & traveling in Vande Bharat trains. With EMI paid tin can cars & pseudo SUVs.
While this is digital colonisation attempt by USA, they will release the sanction on their own else the dominance will be overthrown.
Having said that India should invest in AI sovereignty. Indian tech firms do not invest in products to create their own IPs.
Patron Launcher does not use:
Github Actions, Vercel, Firebase, Supabase, Railway
Its plain postgres docker on a VPS with bunch of python script for CI/CD.
Only issue you need write or design that scripts.
It takes a lot of time but teaches a lot.
supabase gives a solo dev superpowers
postgres auth storage edge functions
row level security
realtime
generous free tier
a backend team for $0 until you scale
3. The SQL Drafter
I'm working in [database, e.g. Postgres, BigQuery]. Here are my tables and key columns: [paste].
Write the SQL to answer: [plain-language question].
Comment each step so I can follow the logic, and flag any join that could silently double-count rows.
If there's a simpler or faster way to get the same answer, show that too.
Builders ๐
Which database are you using for your product right now?
๐ Postgres
โก Supabase
๐ฅ Firebase
๐ MongoDB
And if you could start over today, would you choose the same one? ๐
PostgreSQL, no contest.For a startup you want something reliable, scalable, and future-proof.
Postgres gives you ACID compliance, great performance, JSON support, full-text search, and it scales well.
Every startup tech stack in 2026:
Frontend: React. Because Airbnb used React.
Airbnb has 10 million users.
You have 12.
Makes sense.
Backend: Node.js.
Because a Netflix engineering blog said it handles millions of requests.
Your mom is your only user.
She's not impressed.
Database: Postgres.
Unless someone watched a MongoDB tutorial at 2am. Then MongoDB.
Then a painful migration back to Postgres.
Then a Medium article about why Postgres was always the answer.
Auth: Copied from a dev[.]to article written by someone with 3 followers.
Never fully read.
Currently holding your entire user data.
Sleep well.
Payments: Stripe. Only thing that works. Only thing you didn't build.
Coincidence? No.
Security: Copied the same blog post everyone copies. Added SSL certificate.
Called it "enterprise grade security." Went to sleep.
Documentation: The founder mentions it every Monday.
Has been mentioning it since 2025.
Tests: Users find the bugs. Engineers fix them at 2am.
Same test suite used since launch. Called production.
The entire stack was copied from a TechCrunch article about what Uber used in 2015.
Uber had 3000 engineers.
You have 3.
But the blog said it was "production ready."
So here we are.
