Omnigres | Founding Engineer | SF Bay Area HQ | REMOTE
At Omnigres, our north star is to enable developers to laser-focus on business needs instead of fighting technological challenges.
We're fighting the complexity and inefficiencies of contemporary stacks by removing them instead of hiding them.
At the core, we are turning Postgres into an Application Runtime. Why? Because we believe that code and data are inseparable in pretty much all of the line-of-business application systems. Turns out, when done this way, applications work a lot faster, require a lot less maintenance and are simply easier to write.
We're backed by some great early-stage VCs and looking to onboard people who can move quickly, learn on the go and maintain the focus on the goals. Another way to look at it: we want to meet other pragmatic idealists.
Haven't played with the product itself, but I have known Yev for some time now. Sure he and the team will do something meaningful in this space. All the best.
Many thought RDBMS is dead (at least 10 years ago), well here we are.
Dynamic languages were all the craze and now pretty much all those languages added type safety (Typescript, recent Python versions)
Looks like what goes around comes around.
Folks like Martin Casado noticing the trend [1] and explained what was the challenge [2]
When I was as an Oracle DBA back in the days stored procedures in PL/SQL, OAS (Oracle Application Server) etc. used to be the de facto (or at least no one gave them a second look).
TBH, did i enjoy it? May be not. All we (DBAs) used to do is run the scripts and attach the output.
Why didn't it pique me? Maybe the syntax or lack of business logic, I don't know. Curious to hear how others feel.
