Relating to the article, better scaling. Saying run it on a bigger box is a very brute force way to optimize an application.

While they come up with some other tricks here, that's ultimately what's scaling postgres means.

If I imagine a better database, it would have native support for scaling, a postgres compatible data layer as well as first party support for NoSQL( JSONB columns don't cut it since if you have simultaneous writes unpredictable behavior tends to occur).

It needs to also have a permissible license
