We hosted our annual(ish) Databases Dinner in SF last week! There were 3 recurring themes among database practitioners: 1) The need for an alternative to Spark, 2) The desire for an alternative to SQL, and 3) Lots of praise for Postgres’ scalability and workloads moving to it.

Speaking of Spark alternative, have you guys checked github.com/lakehq/sail? No association but I've been looking for an alternative as well.

Color me intrigued! I’m curious what folks are getting from Spark that {Flink, Snowflake, Clickhouse, …} can’t provide.

I want to hear more about the desire for an alternative to SQL!

1) is interesting, e.g. Flink or Arroyo come to mind? Would love to learn more about the needs there.
