    I struggle with FTS inside SQL (SQLite and MSSQL). There is often a fairly significant impedance mismatch between the relational concerns and how the documents need to be stored.

    I've always preferred to use SQL as the system of record and then build/maintain an external Lucene index. Do we think these integral FTS capabilities are at the point where a hybrid architecture doesn't make sense anymore? How much customization exists in this provider?

      I’m one of TIN’s developers and if you google my username you’ll see I’ve been in this space for a long time.

      The answer to your first question is simply: yes

      As far as your second question, what customization do you need that you believe TIN or PlanetScale doesn’t provide? These are things we can do, with alacrity.
