What if we treated Postgres like SQLite?

I do this using the Docker approach, especially for low scale web apps that run on a single VM. I like that its full Postgres versus the sometimes odd limits of SQLite. My usual approach uses a Trafik container for SSL, Django+gunicorn web app, and Postgres container; all running as containers one VM. Postgres uses a volume, which I back up regularly. For testing I use `eatmydata` which turns off sync, and speeds up test cycles by a couple percent.

I haven't tried the unix socket approach, I suppose I should try, but it's plenty performant as is. One project I built using this model hit the HN front page. Importantly, the "marketing page" was static content on a CDN, so the web app only saw users who signed up.
