Thanks for this write up! I've been really interested in postgres compatibility in the context of a tool I maintain (https://github.com/mergestat/mergestat) that uses SQLite. I've been looking for a way to expose the SQLite capabilities over a more commonly used wire-protocol like postgres (or mysql) so that existing BI and visualization tools can access the data.
This project is an interesting one: https://github.com/dolthub/go-mysql-server that provides a MySQL interface (wire and SQL) to arbitrary "backends" implemented in go.
It's really interesting how compatibility with existing protocols has become an important feature of new databases - there's so much existing tooling that already speaks postgres (or mysql), being able to leverage that is a huge advantage IMO
