We used `pgdog` as a proxy during a recent database backend migration (Heroku -> EC2 -> RDS) and it was much smoother than PgBouncer. Really nice seeing more things in this space, and having the team's work recognized.

To follow up here, it sure sounds like Andre is not entirely acting in good faith.
https://rubycentral.org/news/rubygems-org-aws-root-access-ev... discusses that a precipitating event was Andre asking for a copy of the http access logs to monetize them.
I think this is confirmed by Mike Perham's comment in https://www.reddit.com/r/ruby/comments/1o2bxol/comment/ninn6...
> In this case I have first hand knowledge since he pitched me on the idea: would Sidekiq, being a big sponsor of Ruby Central in the past, be interested if rubygems could somehow use the remote IP to identify the companies downloading the sidekiq gem so I could use that to upsell those companies

TBH the whole thing is pretty opaque. There are a lot of accusations floating around. It's pretty easily to capitalize on "Big evil shopify is making a takeover", but I suspect there's a lot more happening behind the scenes.

Given some of the ways Andre Arko gets described (See https://justin.searls.co/posts/why-im-not-rushing-to-take-si... for a recent overview) I'm a little wary of what the motivation behind this is.

I remember this differently. SVN had great _branching_ but horrific merge support. They resisted improvements to merging, because they wanted something theoretically perfect.
Git came along with great merge support and the entire world loved it.

Are there details about how key management works? Where are the keys stored, what has access to them, etc? Because this tweet is empty hype.

In a different vein, https://www.redactle.com is a fun wikipedia game

For calculator languages, I think there are several choices. Depends a bit on what you know, and what you need...
Frink (https://frinklang.org/) has been around for ages, and is rooted in physical unit conversions
Calca (http://calca.io/) has come up a handful of times. It looks pretty reasonable
R, if that's your flavor
Anything with a REPL. Though the OP suggests these are cumbersome, I'd counter argue that anything you know well is usually more efficient than learning something new.
A very long list of commercial tools: Matlab, Mathematica, WolframAlpha, STS, SAS, etc

It often does -- basically whatever information you had, that subjected you to it, is still meaningful for a length of time. Depends on the details.

What about this does not feel like a postgres use case?
