To me, the real news is that Uber ($50B company) didn't bother to engage the postgres community before migrating - they'd have jumped to support Uber.



I don't get the sense that Uber has had much stability in technical leadership over its lifetime. Big moves like this can be as much cultural as technical.


What would be better to have in resume, "we were using PostgreSQL and after some tuning it worked just fine" or "we designed and implemented scalable modern BigData realtime OLTP solution"?
