Serverless Postgres
This is a MVP for Serverless Postgres. 1/ It uses Fly.io[0], which can automatically pause your database after all connections are released (and start it again when new connections join). 2/ It uses Oriole[1], a Postgres extension with experimental support for S3 / Decoupled Storage[2]. 3/ It uses Tigris[3], Globally Distributed S3-Compatible Object Storage. Oriole will automatically backup the data to Tigris using background workers. I wouldn't recommend using this in production, but I think it's in a good spot to provoke some discussion and ideas. You can get it running…
In plain words
Serverless Postgres is a proof-of-concept database that combines Fly.io's automatic pause-and-resume functionality with Oriole, a Postgres extension that stores data on S3-compatible storage via Tigris. The system automatically backs up data to distributed object storage using background workers. Designed for developers experimenting with serverless database architecture, it is not intended for production use but aims to explore decoupled storage approaches for Postgres.

You can get it running on your own machine with the steps provided - connecting to a remote Tigris bucket (can also be an AWS S3 bucket).
