Removing restrictive DeWitt clauses allows for honest, reproducible database performance comparisons. This transparency helps engineers make better-informed infrastructure decisions based on real-world workloads rather than marketing claims.
Proper benchmarking is critical for making informed infrastructure decisions. Without rigorous controls for network latency, hardware parity, and workload modeling, results are often biased, leading to poor architectural choices and unexpected production performance issues.
Neki solves the scaling limits of single-instance Postgres without sacrificing compatibility or forcing application-level sharding. It provides a managed path to horizontal scaling with online operations, making it easier to handle massive workloads while keeping standard Postgres tools.
