There’s no reason this article and start with Postgres for everything can’t be true.

In the beginning having fewer parts to connect and maintain lets the needs and bottlenecks of the actual application emerge.

If it was listen/notify in such a scenario at some volume where optimizing it isn’t in the cards… so be it. It would be some time down the road before sharding a function into a specific subsystem like what you described.

Appreciate learning about the Postgres/Clickhouse/nats combo. If there might be an article if the three together that you liked would be happy to read and learn.
