### What we like

Full Postgres, but only a serverless model with compute and storage scaled independently. Branching from main makes it easy to prototype and test changes without worrying about the production branch. Integrates with Vercel preview environments for automatic branches per environment. Web UI for easy browsing & SQL execution. Hosted, but open source.

### Tradeoffs

Still in technical preview. Can only deploy databases into a single region (chosen per project) - unclear how redundancy works across zones.
