> DBs who have never used Postgres

PostgreSQL is great for single instances but is poor when it comes to high availability and horizontal scalability.

Be curious what use cases where engineers are writing their own database but it is single instance.

I'd expect an engineer designing a new database, even for internal use, to be familiar with the competition's strengths/weaknesses even if they're going in a different direction.
