PgDog is funded and coming to a database near you
PgDog is a new open-source proxy tool designed to make PostgreSQL horizontally scalable for high-traffic applications. The startup has secured $5.5 million in funding to continue developing infrastructure solutions for database scaling.
Why it matters
It addresses a significant technical limitation in PostgreSQL, potentially reducing the need for developers to migrate to proprietary NoSQL databases.
The reason DBs like Mongo or Dynamo exist is because Postgres has a scaling problem. If you could make it just work, with 100 TB+ tables and 1M queries per second, we don’t think you would use anything else.
