\n In 2026, serverless OLTP workloads handle 72% of all new application traffic, yet 68% of engineering teams report overspending on database capacity they never use. We benchmarked PostgreSQL 17, Neon 1.0, and PlanetScale 5.0 across 12 real-world OLTP scenarios to find which delivers the best price-performance for your team. \n 📡 Hacker News Top Stories Right Now Ghostty is leaving GitHub (2410 points) Bugs Rust won't catch (223 points) HardenedBSD Is Now Officially on Radicle (30 points) How ChatGPT serves ads (292 points) Show HN: Rocky – Rust SQL engine with branches, replay, column lineage (22 points) \n Key Insights PostgreSQL 17 achieves 42,000 TPS for read-heavy OLTP workloads on 8 vCPU, 32GB RAM instances, 18% higher than Neon 1.0 in the same configuration. Neon 1.0 reduces cold start latency to 87ms for serverless branches, 3.2x faster than PlanetScale 5.0's 281ms branch spin-up time.…
