Ah, the classic "let's reinvent the wheel by using
#Postgres as a cache" saga! 😅 Because who wouldn't want to replace a lightning-fast in-memory datastore with a heavy-duty relational database? 🤦♂️ Enjoy your thrill ride through the dizzy zone of overengineering! 🎢💾

Redis is fast - I'll cache in Postgres
There are books & many articles online, like this one arguing for using Postgres for everything. I thought I’d take a look at one use case - using Postgres instead of Redis for caching. I work with APIs quite a bit, so I’d build a super simple HTTP server that responds with data from that cache. I’d start from Redis as this is something I frequently encounter at work, switch it out to Postgres using unlogged tables and see if there’s a difference.
🤡 Oh joy, another "genius" trying to blend
#SQLite and
#Clojure for a
#bitemporal #data system because clearly, the world can't get enough of DIY database hacks. 🚀 Pro-tip: If you need a dictionary to understand your own project, maybe it's time to reconsider your life's choices. 🙄
https://www.evalapply.org/posts/poor-mans-time-oriented-data-system/index.html #DIYdatabase #databasehacks #HackerNews #ngatedPoor man's bitemporal data system in SQLite and Clojure
On trying to mash up SQLite with ideas stolen from Accountants, Clojure, Datomic, XTDB, Rama, and Local-first-ers, to satisfy Henderson's Tenth Law. Viz., to make a sufficiently complicated data system containing an ad-hoc, informally-specified, bug-ridden, slow implementation of half of a bitemporal database. Because? Because laying about on a hammock, contemplating hopelessly complected objects like Current Databases isn't just for the Rich man.
