Now I think it's time to take a proper day off for the long weekend
Please check out layerbase.com, it's what I have been working on

It's understandable why people want this considering Neon + Upstash + Algolia can easily cost you $200/mo
layerbase.com was created to give people first class access
PostgreSQL can do a lot more than store relational data.
In this article, Aaron shows you how to use it as a cache, job queue, search engine, and pub/sub layer using built-in features.
You’ll also learn when Postgres is enough and where specialized tools still win out.

Your coding agent gets its own branch, worktree, and sandbox- then you hand it the shared DB
layerbase.com give agents isolated, branchable data across 18 DBs so it can migrate, test, break, and reset without touching shared state
local, cloud, CI/CD, anywhere

We support 18 different database engines at layerbase.com - that's a lot of different connection string shapes

Today our top 10 databases on layerbase.com are:
- MariaDB
- Redis
- Postgres
- MySQL
- SQLite
- Valkey
- libSQL
- DuckDB
- FerretDB
- ClickHouse
ALT Cheatsheet titled "Which database, and why that one?" A grid of 21 database engines, each with one line on what it is good at and a concrete example. Relational: PostgreSQL, MySQL, MariaDB, CockroachDB, SQLite, LibSQL Document: MongoDB, FerretDB, CouchDB Multi-model: SurrealDB Key-value: Redis, Valkey Analytics: ClickHouse, DuckDB Time series: QuestDB, InfluxDB. Search: Meilisearch Vector: Qdrant, Weaviate Graph: TypeDB Ledger: TigerBeetle Closing rules: start with Postgres until a specific access pattern forces otherwise; every extra engine is another backup; wire-compatible forks let you change the license without changing code. Layerbase runs 18 of these as managed cloud databases and all 21 locally, and that MongoDB, CockroachDB and SurrealDB are license-restricted to local use.
