Any real web application needs data, but, for a long time, it seemed like an afterthought in Jamstack. Sure, there were a lot of solutions, but they were all third-party (a big exception to this has been Cloudflare). As platforms expand their capabilities and, in particular, as they target enterprise solutions, it makes sense that they'd move to offer data solutions as part of their offering. This week saw Vercel released a number of options as well as Deno releasing a long-awaited KV solution for their edge.

Introducing Storage on Vercel
Vercel introduced multiple storage solutions: KV based on Redis that can be read from their edge network; a Postgres SQL solution based upon Neon that is designed to integrate easily within Next.js; and a Blob solution for asset storage designed to replace the need for external solutions like S3.

Announcing Deno KV
Deno’s key value store is built into the Deno platform but also on their edge-based deployment solution, Deno Deploy, allowing you to colocate important parts of your data at the edge. Previously, you could connect to Fauna or Postgres, but these were hosted independently.

I’d say that only a few of his takes were actually particularly spicy but, whether you agree with him or not, this was a thought provoking talk.
