Evolution of Data Systems: Postgres as Central Element
The future of data systems could see a consolidation around Postgres-compatible databases, serving specialized needs like Vector Search or GIS. These databases are likely to be built on object storage, streamlining operations. Postgres or MySQL protocols are expected to act as unifying elements between these databases. The database landscape may shrink slightly, with workloads folding into fewer systems.
