All my kudos for the OrioleDB team, they have been working for years with the Postgres core devs to get the extensibility patches they need for their storage extensions merged back.

It’s not just about building their extension but actually making Postgres better for everyone. I would have loved that big corps would have taken this approach, as it opens the doors to others to add features for different use cases and making postgres more of a DBMS framework

EDB and Cybertech definitely made a great start with Zheap[0] although the initiative stalled for whatever reason

Hopefully the community can support this effort to improve the Table AM API - it would be beneficial even beyond oriole. As you point out, a Pluggable Storage system in Postgres would open up a few new use cases
