'Nobody’s actually run this in production' - the majority of people who work with postgres don't talk about it or gloat about it because it's a tool that works - including it's addons.

Yes, young engineers get all hot and bothered over the most recent tools but - they have no idea how things work and run.

I worked on a project that wanted to use a hot and frothy vector database. The issue - ok, where are we getting the 1/4-1/2 time person to manage it? Product engineers - derp? what? People who live in node and python cutting edge don't really think about the actual production implications of their choices.
