I'm curious to know how PlanetScale Postgres would fare.

While it’s important to focus on the backend itself, why don’t anyone focus on the clients which talk to the databases, it is there most of an applications problem starts also in regards to performance.

Tldr? Can I use this to benchmark my own CNPG on k8s to see if there is improvement to be made on the deployment?

I was just looking for something like this. I think there is a lack of benchmarks between Postgres cloud instances across different clouds. They all offer the same features mostly, but we don't know how they perform.

If I had ~$10,000k to burn, I would give Claude Code an AWS account and this benchmark and have it generate parameter spaces and optimize the configuration for transaction processing by just changing the configuration.

It would be interesting to see vanilla postgres on a VPS and vanilla postgres on a bare metal server included too. I understand it's apples and oranges, but would it be slower, would it be faster, by how much?
