Well, that's a bold assumption as pg is speaking one of the richest sql dialects out there. And it also means it supports pg WAL protocol ?

The product is backed by solid research, so I suppose that there must be some powerful algorithms built-in, with a good coupling with hardware [1].

So the last question is how the code is made and tested, because good algorithms are not enough for a having a solid codebase. pg+(redis/memcached) is battle-tested.

Seems to use some common ideas with pg such as query jit compilation but mixes it with another approach.

possible in many languages using pg.

jepsen test maybe ?

Didn't harvest the clustering part neither.
