Postgres at PlanetScale (Interview)

Sam Lambert returns to The Changelog after four years to discuss PlanetScale's new Postgres offering, the Neki proxy rewrite, and how database operations are evolving. He shares the reasoning behind PlanetScale's 'do-over' of Vitess for Postgres, the role of AI agents in schema management, and the company's capability to roll back enormous tables instantly. The conversation also touches on the open-source dilemma and Lambert's critique of the major cloud providers as lazy monopolies.
