With ON DELETE CASCADE, you're only one query away from a complete outage. Tom explains why… planetscale.com/blog/i-dont-…

I don't trust ON DELETE CASCADE — PlanetScale

A one-line convenience in your database schema can become an outage. There are better ways to delete data that won't risk locking up your database.

There's an obvious way to build a database router. We didn't do that. Nothing's faster than doing nothing. See how we built Neki with the laziest Postgres router possible. planetscale.com/blog/designi…

Building a faster, lazier router for Postgres — PlanetScale

Nothing is as fast as not doing anything. How Neki keeps great performance by only decoding the parts of a PostgreSQL result the router actually needs.

Every shard has its own clock. So what happens when you call now() in a query that spans all of them? Neki has an answer for that. It also has one for sequences, which turns out to be much trickier. planetscale.com/blog/neki-vo…

Smaller isn't always faster. What gets TOASTed in Postgres and when to keep pglz: planetscale.com/blog/what-ge…

What gets TOASTed in Postgres — PlanetScale

Postgres 19 switches TOAST compression from pglz to LZ4. LZ4 is faster, but it isn't always smaller, and some reads get slower with it.
