> A usual objection to use anything other than a stablished relational DB is "creating a database is too difficult for the average programmer." How about debugging PostgreSQL issues, developing new storage engines for it

that's exactly what OP company is doing: they are building storage engine for postgres.



I doubt this initiative is gonna make Postgres easier to use, smaller in terms of dependencies, simplicity of its codebase or resource usage.


Regarding resource usage, the benchmarks in the article show reduced IO usage. Are you doubting the validity of those benchmarks?


it will unlock new performance improvement scenarios.
