Agree with other commenters that the title is a bit confusing and should be renamed to something like "Is your Postgres workload read heavy or write heavy?"

But title aside, I found this post very useful for better understanding PG reads and writes (under the hood) and how to actually measure your workload

Curious if the tuning actions any different if you're using a non-vanilla storage engine like AWS Aurora or GCP AlloyDB or Neon?

I think it speaks to the fact that this is a new industry and most people have no idea how to price the value of what they're selling yet

Absolutely agree

I don't think Anthropic's $200/mo unlimited plan is evidence that free plans are a ticking time bomb

It's evidence that gen AI products is incompatible with unlimited plans. To be sustainable, it requires usage limits or usage based pricing

I'm building an app for splitting bills with friends, mainly for holidays and roommates: https://quicksplit.io

It does one thing and it does it well. I built it with a friend and we released the iOS app last year. Currently building the Android app
