joeldesante
04/10/2022, 6:49 PMIf that database was sharded in some way Im sure that would still count as 1 instance, right?

04/10/2022, 6:51 PMwell.. you would have to handle the querying to hit the right shard. If you can do that and do it in a way that's transparent to the core, that would work.
If you are doing that, i'd be interested in knowing how.. also, it may get tricky since you would sometimes have to do a transaction across shards.

04/10/2022, 7:02 PMCockroachDB supports postgres syntax but is much more scalable

04/10/2022, 7:08 PMWe do have people use the sessions + passwordless recipe for cockroach db
rp_st
04/10/2022, 7:08 PMBut we haven’t tested it extensively with that db yet. So no guarantees from our side
