But then postgres is basically an OS at this point, enough to compete with emacs for meme potential. And I say that as a happy postgres user.

My principle dev asked if we could figure out how to invoke Lambda functions from within postgres trigger functions.

I was like, "Probably. But it's like putting a diving board at the top of the Empire State building.. doable, but a bad plan all around."
