Postgres is a great DB, but it's the wrong tool for a write-heavy, high-concurrency, real-time system with pub-sub needs.
You should split your system into specialized components: - Kafka for event transport (you're likely already doing this). - An LSM-tree DB for write-heavy structured data (eg: Cassandra) - Keep Postgres for queries that benefit from relational features in certain parts of your architecture
Very good article! Succinct, and very informative.

Hi! Have been following LiveKit for a while.
You mention global presence but the job application forms require legal authorization to work in the US. Can you please clarify if you're remote global, or remote US?

That's a great point. Newrev actually gives you the best of both worlds:
The AI agents still run terminal-based environments on a backend server (local or cloud), so they have full access to resources and native tools. The browser UI simply provides a much more intuitive, visual interface for interaction, file exploration, and live previews, making these powerful agents accessible and easy to use without deep terminal expertise.
So running this on the browser implies you need to know how to clone a git repo, run a chmod command, etc. How do you plan to productize this so that it actually gets to the hands of non technical people?
What's exactly the benefit of running on the browser? I get that accessibility to a broader audience is a benefit but from what I understand these agents run on the terminal because they have a more powerful runtime. You don't have the browser's memmory limits, you can install native tools such as curl or docker, the model runs directly on your machine, and you have more security on the CLI.
