So it's a bit of tradeoffs, we may add a second DB to the compose by the time we reach v1.0, but, if we had to pick the convergence of simplicity and flexibility to start, PostgreSQL is it. We prototyped SQLite as well. It just wasn't working in the stack like we had needed. The idea is simple: use as few components as possible to achieve the outcome. Better to have less than more initially, because we can simply add the more and extend the API, but ripping everything out and trying to trim it down is damn near impossible, especially when the platform garners widespread usage. The decision to do the less then more instead of more then less approach was spurred by us (the wider project) always having way too much bulk and then finding it impossible to turn the ship when we needed to (https://github.com/vircadia/vircadia-native-core).

ed to be agile to reach the milestones we have set out, hence the differed approach using off the shelf parts and only adding what we need, when we need it.

For an E2E worlds solution, so this https://github.com/vircadia/vircadia-web and this https://github.com/vircadia/vircadia-native-core except heavily condensed so it's easier to modify/upgrade for each new bespoke use case. Our old system, being very monolithic, while extremely performant and capable, was nearly impossible to adapt and change. So what we have now is much more dynamic but also still a work in progress, a more complete example will be published in the coming weeks.

I think you fundamentally misunderstand the stack. Their main usage of the platform has to do with a E2E solution with avatars, audio, etc. all synced without issue. These features ship with the client and other private repositories wrapping the core. However, for usage to HN users they would be (likely) more interested in the SDK, the core, the underlying system, and how it can fit their use cases.
