I am not calling Postgres hype - it should have never been NOT hype. It's a reasonable default for most problems,
Now all I read about is how Postgres is awesome, as if it's this great new thing. I guess that makes sense, as the new generation of engineers is rediscovering stable, reliable, lean technologies after a decade of excesses with "exotic" tech.
For grey beards, it's all very odd. Like, "where have you all been?"
