The database trends that are transforming your database infrastructure forever
summary
Argues open source databases move from single-node to distributed architectures and separate storage from compute so serverless querying is feasible; cites Neon as a Postgres-derived project doing that and mentions Tigris/Tigress data and Percona’s PMM for running DBs on Kubernetes. Notes ClickHouse can speak MySQL/Postgres protocols and Babelfish offers Postgres↔MSSQL compatibility. Claims cloud economics drive license shifts and DBaaS monopolies, operators deliver day‑two automation so clusters actually run at scale (tens of thousands of instances) and many prototypes already work in production.
