ok nice reply. i think i was where you were in 2021 around doing stuff in sprocs. i think pple generally follow a cycle of going overexcited about throwing everything in the database and then going "actually the database is a pretty bad production compute environment" and re-separating concerns back to different levels.

use sprocs lightly for simple fast stateless things. every other attempt at stuffing a lot of compute into the database that i'm aware of has basically failed to gain adoption (the personal awesomeness/happiness of the guy who created it aside)
