It looks very interesting for integration tests

OP here - yes, this is my use case too: integration and regression testing, as well as providing learning environments. It makes working with larger datasets a breeze.

We do this, preview deploys, and migration dry runs using Neon Postgres’s branching functionality - seems one benefit of that vs this is that it works even with active connections which is good for doing these things on live databases.

would this work inside test containers?

I use CREATE DATABASE dbname TEMPLATE template1; inside test containers. Have not tried this new method yet.

OP here - still have to try (generally operate on VM/bare metal level); but my understanding is that ioctl call would get passed to the underlying volume; i.e. you would have to mount volume

They also control their own hardware stack with TPUs.

Ragnarok Online private servers communities did pretty much the same for me. We were very die-hard on PHP, MySQL, C and ancient JS/CSS.

Try to reproduce it yourself, bro.

A lot of logistics, as mentioned. If you’d like to explain what’s in there beyond that, I’ll be glad to hear.

the novelty, you didn't do or think of that before. It was well executed and novelty.

You can't do it, you also didn't think of it before.

What value are you adding?

This isn't about me though, no point in making this personal. I'm just trying to understand what's interesting about this picture. You are saying that just because nobody took that particular combination before, it is enough of a reason, right?

What is interesting is the novelty on itself, but you already refused to understand that. You can't force someone to understand what they refuse because they think there's something else.

I hope so

I’ve been in the exact same boat for a decade. What helped me was working out; it’s pretty much a hobby now. Endorphins are a hell of a drug.
