> db9 is a PostgreSQL-compatible distributed SQL database. Your data is stored in a distributed TiKV cluster, and each database (tenant) gets its own isolated keyspace. [0]

I feel like the lede is a bit buried here, bordering on deceptive.

That or the architecture doc is wrong. Both plausible I guess, in this day and age.

You can do the same and a bit more with sqlite through agentfs

I think what’s really interesting is that the first version of db9.ai is done by a single person by commanding AI. There must be tons of invaluable lessons learned.

I like the idea of combining the file system and the database. It's really useful when people don’t want to manage files and structured data separately.

I've only worked with MySQL, Sqlite up until this year. Started on Postgres since January and I'm seeing how flexible it is.
