What Happens if You Put an HTTP Server Inside Postgres?

A quick look into changing how we think about serving HTTP clients — Benchmarks and performance claims are attention-grabbers, but that’s not what drew me to work on Omnigres. When I first built a prototype of its HTTP server, I didn’t foresee the desire to share the numbers. As we all know, getting benchmarks right is hard, and everybody’s mileage may vary. But…
