really great perspective. A lot of techniques from the past aren't conceptually wrong, we just have the tools today to make them efficient. The intuition behind them was always reasonable, if you could amortize the cost of making them work at scale. Appreciate the vote of confidence!
And re: the graph -- Postgres stays king here. There are a lot of fancy database mechanisms for building systems like this, but the convenience of a SQL data structure that can tie the graph into structured metadata is pretty unbeatable. This may evolve with time as well.
