Performance benefits of the approach seem nice, with SPDK reducing kernel context switches, and direct NVMe to reduce latency in the storage path. This does require a more specialized setup, than Neon's tiered architecture (Safekeepers → Pageservers → cloud storage), at the expense of storage cost obviously.

[author] Ha, they are actually react-flow, which we use both in the app and on https://xata.io/

For the blog post I actually just used screenshots of the react-flow diagrams, because I was lazy.
